Cableguys update MidiShaper to v1.6 – Advanced MIDI Modulator

-
Cableguys

Cableguys have released M‌idiShaper v1.6, a significant update to their advanced MIDI control plugin, now with a redesigned modern interface, the same LFO drawing as their flagship ShaperBox plugin, and added compatibility with VST 3 and native Apple Silicon.

Here's what they say:

Designed for MIDI power users, M‌idiShaper brings fully drawable LFOs to your favorite MIDI synths and effects. Software or hardware, vintage or modern – if it accepts MIDI CCs, M‌idiShaper will expand its modulation capabilities.

M‌idiShaper 1.6 is currently on sale at €29 / $29 (reg. €49 / $49). It's a free update for existing owners at cableguys.com/login (see Changelog.txt for breaking changes).

Introduction to M‌idiShaper video: YouTube.com/watch?v=BH310Ey10r4

Features:

  • New – Modern Interface
    A slick new interface lets you take control of MIDI modulation like never before. As well as a modernized design, there are handy refinements like AHDSR envelope visualization, easier LFO timing setup and MIDI input LEDs. It's resizable and Retina-ready, of course.
  • New – Faster LFO Drawing
    Animate any MIDI-controllable parameter with Cableguys' famous LFO drawing tools. Now featuring the same powerful LFO editing as used in ShaperBox, you'll draw shapes in a flash with a flexible Pointer tool, paint with Pens, get inspired by Wave Presets, and more.
  • New – Global Copy/Paste
    LFOs can now be copy/pasted globally across all instances of M‌idiShaper – and even between instances of ShaperBox and FilterShaper XL.
  • 4 Modulation Sources
    Each of the four Source sections comprises an LFO plus an AHDSR envelope. Use either as your modulation source, or enable both for MIDI-triggered envelopes that control the strength of the LFO's modulation, so you can fade patterns in and out.
  • Lock LFOs to Sync, MIDI or Pitch
    M‌idiShaper's LFOs can run in 1-shot or looping modes. Sync them to your song's timeline, from a buzzy 1/128 to an expansive 32 bars. Or run free from 0.02Hz right up to 5.24kHz. Retrigger with MIDI and even set the LFO frequency to match MIDI note pitch.
  • Modulation Routing Matrix
    Using a flexible routing matrix, each of the four Sources can modulate Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Channel Aftertouch and up to 6 MIDI CCs of your choice.
  • New – Improved Compatibility
    As well as the existing AU and VST versions, M‌idiShaper now comes in VST 3 format and has native Apple Silicon compatibility.

Pricing:

  • M‌idiShaper: €49 / $49 On sale at €29 / $29 at cableguys.com/midishaper
  • Cableguys Bundle: €179 / $179 at cableguys.com/products – contains ShaperBox 3, M‌idiShaper, Snapback, FilterShaper XL, HalfTime, Curve 2, total value $658.
