What's New in ShaperBox 2.2:

• New: Stereo Offset control for FilterShaper Core 2. Shifts left/right filter cutoff in opposing directions, up to 60 semitones, for stereo effects.
• New: Easy 1-slider Envelope/Compressor Editing. The Amount/Ratio and On/Off controls are now always accessible.
• New: Skew selection. Ctrl-drag a corner/side handle of the selection to adjust it vertically. Great for adjusting the intensity of your LFO over time.
• New: Draggable LFO parameters for Volume/Pan/Width Shapers. Shift the LFO waveform up/down in a click, and see the average LFO value at a glance.
• New: 'Move points to grid' command in Wave Editor menu, for snapping every point inside the selection onto the grid.
• New: Right-click any preset for 'Use as startup preset' option. Disable in the Main Menu's Startup section.
• New: Wave Switch Smoothing, for preventing clicks/pops when switching Waves via MIDI, automation, or clicking in the interface.
• New: MIDI Trigger LED to visualise MIDI note input, aiding setup.
• New: Reset Shaper via Main Menu, initialising to default empty preset or a Quick Preset.
• Improved: Snap to grid is now a toggle option and works for selections too. Hold Shift to temporarily toggle Snap.
• Improved: TimeShaper resampling algorithm is 2x lower in CPU, with even quieter interpolation artefacts.
• Fixed: TimeShaper Step Mode could change the sound of non-stepped audio-rate waveforms.
