IRCAM updates ASAP to v1.3.0

26th August 2024

IRCAM has updated ASAP to v1.3.0 with the following new features:

ARA plug-ins are now available as standalone applications. You can use the processors as external editors in DAWs such as Live or Pro Tools, no longer needing ARA2 support.
ARA plug-ins offer a logarithmic frequency representation mode.
The Spectral Surface plug-in has been renamed Psycho Filter.
ARA plug-ins offer a bypass option in every region. You can switch between the original sound and the transformed sound with a single click.
The Psycho Filter plug-in (formerly Spectral Surface) computes on the fly the sonogram resulting from the application of the filters. It's beautiful and it's useful.
