Tone2 updates the PC and Mac versions of Nemesis

Tone2 Audio has updated the PC and the Mac version of their digital synthesizer Nemesis (v2.1/v2.2).

The updates are major updates, which are available for free. They add a VST3 version for PC, native Apple M1 ARM support, many enhancements and new features.

New features:

• Added a VST3 version for PC.
• You can select from 3 different installation types: Minimal (VST2 only), Default (VST2 + Standalone) and Full (VST2 + VST3 + Standalone).
• Added a Microsoft-approved certificate to the installer.
• HiDPI support for the VST3 version.
• AudioUnit version supports M1 native.
• VSTi version supports M1 native.
• Help->'Show version info' displays the mode in which the plugin is running (ARM/Intel).

Enhancements:

• Higher sound-quality in 44 kHz, 48 kHz and 88 kHz sample-rate.
• More precise timing.
• New microtuning algorithm that detects and enhances a wide range of chords.
• More smart detection of the VST2 path.
• Slightly higher performance.
• More robustness.
• Further optimisation to prevent denormalisation.
• Much faster loading times on M1 Macs.
• The native M1 support results in 20% lower CPU use compared to Rosetta2 Mode.
• More responsive GUI on M1 Macs.
• Several small enhancements.

Fixes:

• Resynthesis of waveforms did not work as expected.
• M1 Macs did not update the GUI properly when the selector-button for the LFO type was pressed.
• Coordinates of the knob-contextmenu were incorrect when the large GUI was used.
• Tooltips did not work with Dark Mode with Big Sur.
• Big Sur could show an incorrect mouse-pointer.
• Workaround for the 'unusual' designed audio architecture of FL Studio. It is not longer necessary to enable 'Use fixed size buffers' to avoid crackles.
• Workaround for a bug of Big Sur where new AudioUnits are only detected after a reboot.
• Fixed a rarely appearing crash.

Changes:

• Updated some links.
• AudioUnit is now an AUv2 plugin.
• AudioUnit and VSTi are now a Universal Binary for Intel and M1.
• Minimum MacOS version is now 10.11. If you still use an older version you must stick with Nemesis v2.1.
