Voxengo releases Soniformer 3.0 Spectral Mastering Dynamics Processor

Voxengo has announced the release of version 3.0 of Soniformer, a spectral mastering dynamics processor plug-in for professional music production applications. This major new version is available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats for Mac OS X (v.10.4.11 and later) and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) computers.

Every parameter in Soniformer is defined by means of a graphic envelope which is freely-modifiable and which may contain an unlimited number of control points. Beside the usual threshold, attack, release and compression/expander ratio parameters Soniformer offers you control over "stereo width" and "panning" parameters making Soniformer an effective tool for stereo field adjustments.

Not only Soniformer offers you an easy-to-use parameter envelope editing interface, it also features a comprehensive set of spectral metering tools: you can switch between input, output, stereo correlation and stereo balance spectrums. The spectral gain change meter, which is always present on the user interface, gives you an outline of the overall signal power change applied by the plug-in's processing chain.

Features:

• 32-band dynamics processor.
• Envelope-driven parameters.
• 32-band "analog" spectrum analyzer.
• Stereo balance and correlation meters.
• Multi-band panning.
• Narrow-band sweeping.
• Stereo and multi-channel processing.
• Internal channel routing.
• Channel grouping.
• Mid/side processing.
• Up to 8x linear-phase oversampling.
• 64-bit floating point processing.
• Preset manager.
• Undo/redo history.
• A/B comparisons.
• Contextual hint messages.
• All sample rates support.
• 11-millisecond processing latency.

Soniformer 3.0 added the following features since version 2 (version 3 can be used in projects alongside version 2):

• Stereo balance and correlation metering.
• Range envelope.
• Linear-phase oversampling.
• Multi-channel support.
• Multi-platform support.
• Routing matrix.
• Preset manager.
• User interface coloration.
• User interface re-scaling.
• Channel grouping.
• Plug-in instance naming.

An introductory price of $89.95 will be effective for three weeks from now, which is 20% off the regular price of $109.95. Upgrading from the previous version costs $49.95 if previous version was purchased earlier than 90 days from now: otherwise the upgrade is free during this grace period.
