Softube has announced availability of version 2.3.76 of its plug-ins installer with a fix for Windows 10 users and a long line of minor bug fixes, plus two new utility modules are available free of charge to existing and future Modular owners.
Dual X-Fade
Dual X-Fade is a two-channel, CV-controllable crossfade module that lets you create new and interesting textures by blending two separate mono signals. For example, patch in two different waveforms from an oscillator — such as sine or saw — and use the blend knob to set the level between the two signals. You can also morph seamlessly between them by manually adjusting the blend knob while the song is playing or control the knob with an LFO via CV.
Dual Pan
A two-channel, CV-controllable panning module, use Dual Pan to place one or two mono signals anywhere in the stereo mix panorama, such as two percussive sounds that the user wants to separate in the stereo image, for example. The 1+2 outputs can be used for a stereo sum of the two L and two R outputs. Dual Pan can also be used as an A/B switch to send a CV or audio signal to two different inputs.
Modular owners can download the new installer, run it, and the new modules will be available in the Module Selector window.
