2Rule updates TugPhonon to v1.3

2Rule has updated TugPhonon, the vintage rotating tape delay plugin, to v1.3, a major release featuring new features and Ubuntu support.

Changes in TugPhonon v1.3

• Per-Head EQ: Each head now features its own independent EQ section for precise tonal shaping.
• LFO Phase Control for MOD: Offset the LFO phase between heads, unlocking wider spatial and rhythmic possibilities.
• Pivot & Skew for Heads:

  • Pivot now uses a physical string model.

  • Skew range has been increased, with exponential and continuous movement.

• Left/Right Offset - Separated: L and R offsets are now independent per head, offering full stereo width control.
• SHIFT Modifier for EQ Tab: The SHIFT modifier now works inside the EQ tab, consistent with other tabs.
• New MIDI Distribution Modes: Choose how MIDI notes are assigned across 8 heads:

  • Round-Robin – Notes cycle through heads 1–8 in order.

  • Pitch-Sorted – Lowest note to head 1, highest to head 8; chords spread across the disk.

  • Polyphonic – Each head acts as a fully independent voice.

  • Each head label displays its currently assigned MIDI note.
• MTS-ESP Support:
  • Full support for the ODDSound MTS-ESP (MIDI Tuning Standard – Extended Protocol).
  • When an MTS-ESP master is active, resonator and ring mod pitch follow the retuned scale automatically.
• MOD Waveform Crossfades: LFO shape switching now crossfades instead of snapping — no clicks during performance.
• Smooth Random Waveform: Random waveform is now interpolated rather than stepped.
• MOD Depth & Rate Smoothing: Automating or adjusting MOD depth/rate no longer causes zipper noise.
• Gain & Pan Smoothing: Per-head gain and pan controls also benefit from zipper‑free smoothing.
• PANIC Button: Clears stuck notes, resets resonators and ring mod, and silences runaway feedback.
• Loop Feedback Control: Feedback is now an explicit, dedicated control.
• Resizable Window: The plugin window can be freely resized; the UI layout scales accordingly.
• Spectrum Analyzer & Oscilloscope: Both are now visible in the interface, with a low‑cut filter on the spectrum view.
• Presets: Preset browser now includes categories, with identical structure on macOS and Windows.
• Visual Design: Complete UI overhaul with a dark neon theme. Each tab features its own accent colour.
• Installer for Windows and Debian Support.
