Console 1 Channel Mk III, Console 1 Fader Mk III, and Flow Studio

• Added Direct DAW Control support for Ableton Live. Add "Softube Direct DAW Control" under Tempo/Midi/Control Surfaces in settings to activate it. We recommend using Ableton Live 12.4 or newer.
• Added support for controlling Channel Strip modules in Cubase on Limited Tracks with Direct DAW Control active. This works for Filters, Compressor, and EQ.
• Fixed a MIDI issue that could prevent Console 1 tracks from appearing immediately on project load in Cubase/Nuendo with Direct DAW Control active.
• Added an update to make it possible to use the OK button on a Flow Studio unit when navigating a Console 1 menu.
• Optimized how graphical data is sent to the screens on the hardware units.

Flow Studio:

• Added the possibility to load a single plug-in from the Flow Selector. This is done by switching Type from Flows to Plug-ins in the Flow Selector using Flow Control 3. The plug-ins are loaded with 8 pre-mapped Flow Controls. This feature is only available when Flow Studio is controlling the Flow Mixing Suite plug-in.
• Added new visualizations: Goniometer, Distortion, and Guitar Tuner.
• Filter options are now removed from the Flow Selector when the result would be empty (e.g., hiding the Mastering filter if there are no Mastering Flows available).
• Fixed an issue that could cause the screen to turn black when a plug-in was placed on an active track.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Flow Studio to crash when large amounts of MIDI data were sent to the unit.
• Fixed an issue that caused front-page parameters to be off by one when using Flow Mastering Suite in Detail Mode.

Softube On-Screen Display (updated either via Console 1 System or Flow Studio Suite):

• Added Screen Reader support for Flow Studio.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the frequency analyzer to disappear on certain tracks. Switching back and forth to another track would make it appear again.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when double-tapping a knob on Console 1 Channel Mk III while using Pro Tools.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the On-Screen Display to keep running after it had been uninstalled on Mac.

Amp Room, Amplifiers, Blaze Work Amplification, Custom 100W, Flow Mixing Suite, Pacific Dual Tremolo 100W Black:

• Fixed a bug that could cause license failure pop-up windows to be triggered unexpectedly when loading the plug-in.

Amplifiers, Blaze Work Amplification, Custom 100W, Pacific Dual Tremolo 100W Black:

• Added a Guitar Tuner to the UI, available in the plug-in menu bar.
• Added LoadIR as a cabinet option.

Bus Processor 670:

• Fixed an issue that prevented "Ext. S/C to..." and "Filters to..." from working when using the processor inside Console 1.

Console 1 System:

• Added Tape/Preamp Headroom parameter. The new parameter is adjusted via 'Shift + Input Gain' (Console 1 Channel Mk III units only, since 'Shift + Input Gain' is used to control Width on Mk I/II units) or via the plug-in UI.
• Fixed an issue where the manual button inside the Console 1 plug-in would incorrectly redirect to the older Mk II hardware manual.

Flow Mixing Suite and Flow Mastering Suite:

• Added an option to hide unavailable Flows from the Flow Selector.

Flow Mixing Suite:

• Added new Alex Venguer Flow Pack by Alex Venguer.
• Added a Guitar Tuner to the UI, available in the plug-in menu bar.
• Fixed a bug that could cause some cabinets to erroneously show up as "not installed".
• Fixed a potential parameter synchronization issue that could occur if both the Flow Mixing Suite and Console 1 were placed on the same track.

Flow Mastering Suite:

• New Flow: Vintage Master. This Flow includes the Bus Processor 670.
• Fixed an issue that could cause plug-in descriptions to linger after clearing the signal chain (either by pressing "Empty Signal Chain" in the Plug-in Preset Browser or "New" in the Flow Selector).

Vocal Tuner and Layers:

• Fixed an issue in our pitch detection algorithm that could cause rare, seemingly random crashes. This update also improves overall pitch tracking stability.
