discoDSP updates FX Bundle to v3.3

[george]

We have updated ThrillMe in our FX Bundle 2.10 multi-platform suite.

ThrillMe 3.5



Major CPU optimization implementing advanced mathematical optimizations including FMA (Fused Multiply-Add) instructions, fast math for exponential and hyperbolic functions, and optimized decibel conversions, resulting in significant reduction in CPU usage while maintaining identical audio quality. Enhanced compiler optimizations with AVX2 and FMA instruction set support for Intel/AMD processors deliver improved performance on modern CPUs without affecting existing presets or workflow.

Optimized saturation algorithm with reduced computational complexity through power series pre-calculation and streamlined polynomial evaluation. Replaced standard library exponential and logarithmic functions with optimized variants for substantial performance gains in compression envelope processing, delivering more efficient real-time performance that maintains the characteristic ThrillMe sound while reducing system load.

Improved mathematical precision in gain reduction calculations with optimized decibel-to-linear conversions and efficient FMA operations throughout the signal chain.

This update is free for existing customers and available now in AU, VST2, VST3, and standalone formats for Windows, macOS, and Linux and soon for iOS.

discoDSP FX Bundle 3

The FX Bundle 3.x series represents a major milestone for discoDSP's effect plugins. This release brings ThrillMe 3 multiband compressor and exciter with professional surround and Dolby Atmos support, completely redesigned DSP architecture with true 16x oversampling, and significant performance improvements across Intel and Apple Silicon platforms. AAX format is now available for Pro Tools users, with support expanding to the full suite in upcoming updates. FX Bundle 3 is a free update for all 1.x and 2.x customers.

ThrillMe 3.8



ThrillMe 3.8 expands the plugin's capabilities to professional surround and immersive audio workflows, delivering the same pristine multiband compression quality to mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 7.1.2, and 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos formats.

New Features

• Multi-channel format support — Full native support for mono, stereo, 5.1 surround, 7.1 surround, 7.1.2 Atmos, and 7.1.4 Atmos channel configurations.
• Dynamic channel-agnostic processing — Each channel receives independent multiband compression with identical algorithms, ensuring consistent treatment across all speakers while maintaining phase coherence.
• Adaptive UI metering — Individual narrow meters for each channel, automatically scaling width based on channel count for comprehensive visual feedback.
• Improved Logic Pro compatibility — Enhanced bus layout negotiation with support for both named channel sets and discrete layouts.
• Intelligent discrete layout validation — Support for up to 16 channels with proper channel type handling.
• Adaptive oversampling for high sample rates — Automatically halves from 16x to 8x when sample rate exceeds 48kHz, maintaining consistent ~768kHz processing rate while optimizing CPU usage.
• Complete 16x oversampling DSP overhaul — All processing stages operate at true 16x sample rate (768kHz at 48kHz projects), eliminating aliasing artifacts with enhanced clarity, transient preservation, and analog-like warmth.
• Advanced inter-sample peak protection — Intelligent ceiling limiter applied after downsampling, preventing overs on D/A converters and streaming platforms.
• Phase-coherent Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters — Operating at proper 16x rate with accurate frequency response for pristine band separation.
