Wusikstation v3.0 released

Wusik.com has released Wusikstation v3.0, a major update to the hybrid Vector & Wavesequencer Sampler / Synth Workstation VSTi for Windows.

Main changes:

• Insert effects per Layer. Besides the current FX1 and FX2, you will have 6 new options. iO1, iO2, iO3, iO4, iW1, iW2.
• File Search (works for all files) F3 Shortcut. The search is done on the selected directory and all sub-dirs inside. If you select a Root directory, it will search everywhere (inside the DATA\*** folder).
• Preset Favorites - Saves/Loads user presets.
• Preset Word Search. This will search for the entered word inside preset-files. e.g. if you want to find all presets that are named "Piano", but also uses samples named "Piano". Or if you want to find files with Arabic tuning, just type "ARABIC".
• Extra Envelope options: Exponential (x1 and x2), Inverted Exponential (x1, x2 and x4) or Linear Mode (right-click on AmpEnv/ModEnvs).
• Amp Envelopes can be LINKED now (right-click on AmpEnv).
• Option to add new elements on the GUI for V3 skins, while still being able to load V2/V1 skins. For those cases, it will use Right-Click menus to access new objects.
• New customizable Tool Tips code (uses a TXT file for customization). The new Effects SDK also allows to add ToolTips on Insert/Send Effects.
• Master Unison, affects all layers (monophonic only).
• Both the MIDI-Learn and Automation codes were optimized.
• Pitch-Bend is now sent per channel using the Multi-Timbral settings found over the Configuration-Page.
• EQ default values are all centered now. Also, they will display -1 to 1, instead of 0 to 127.
• Changing Wavesequencer destination no longer erases the data.
• Layer MIDI Channel now shows on the Layer section.
