We’ve released the new 17.05 plugins today! This update includes:
- New instruments for MSoundFactory: Constellation Keys, Chidori Pad, Choirs of Veritas, Evil Alien Bass, Hellriser Bass, and String Machine
- Several new features for MSoundFactory
- Many other fixes across all plugins

As part of this update, we’ve also introduced a new ARA (Audio Random Access) plugin: MTrackAlign, designed for aligning your tracks. Compatibility information can be found here:
Please note: this plugin is currently in beta, so you’ll need to have beta packages enabled. See below for details.
You can get the update via MPluginManager, as always. One important user-requested feature has also been added to the latest version of MPluginManager 02.10. We've introduced three version modes, accessible from the bottom-right corner of the MPluginManager (see attached picture bellow). Here’s how they work (you can also find this in the Help section):
Manual – Lets you lock in a specific stable version (e.g., 17.04). It will stay fixed until you manually change it or switch to an automatic mode.
Latest – Automatically uses only the most recent stable plugin packages. Beta versions are excluded.
Latest + Beta – Automatically uses the most recent stable packages, and if newer beta versions are available, they'll be used too.
To simplify things, we’ve removed the old "Beta" checkbox. If you previously had it enabled, your mode is now set to "Latest + Beta." If not, you're on "Latest." The transition is handled automatically. The auto plugin update feature only works in one of the automatic modes.
This new system also acts like a safety fuse - if a newly released version causes issues, you can easily roll back to any available stable version. Think of it as a time machine to ensure your projects are never disrupted by an unexpected bugs or functional changes.
For offline users, the offline installation package (maudioplugins_17_05_01.zip) for MPluginManager is available here:
