AuraPlug has released version 2.4 of AmpFire, an guitar multi-effect plugin.

AmpFire is a special VST effect designed for metal guitar players. AmpFire is a preamplifier, distortion, power amplifier and speaker cabinet simulator in one. AmpFire does not contain effects (except for an input Noise gate). We focused on guitar-sound and low CPU usage when designing AmpFire. Plugins deriving from other manufacturers are easy to add to post-AmpFire VST series. Countless VST effects are available for this.

AmpFire 2.4 comes with a frequency response graph.

Changes in AmpFire v2.4

• Advanced zero (low) latency convolution engine, ideal for cabinet simulation.
• Internal IR file browser.
• Supported file format: RIFF wave-files (.wav) (8/16/24/32-bit, mono/left channel stereo at any sample rate).
• Internal sample rate converting.
• Auto-normalization (automatic volume compensation).
• Frequency response graph.
• Separate dry/wet control (-inf .. +24dB).
• Extremely low CPU Usage.

AmpFire for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available to purchase for 40 EUR. The update is currently available for Windows (32/64bit VST), Mac AU/VST coming soon.

Loomer has updated its Sequent effect plugin to version 1.3.3.

Sequent is a modular multi-effects unit, the ideal tool for mangling audio on stage or in the studio.

Changes in Sequent v1.3.3

• (feature) Keyboard entry of rotary parameter values. Rotary controls can now be typed directly into by clicking on the text value below the control.
• (improvement:Mac OS X) Installer and all installed components are now signed in compliance with Mac OS X 10.8′s Gatekeeper system.
• (improvement:Linux) When using the JACK audio system in standalone mode, the JACK Transport now syncs Sequent’s tempo, start/stop status, and playhead location.
• (improvement) Step response on the filter, distortion, pan, and delay module parameters has been significantly reduced to allow for tighter control of sequenced automation.
• (improvement) Changing sequencer patterns via MIDI keyboard can no longer cause audio glitches when using a realtime audio driver.
• (fix) The Master sequencer will now correctly follow a host’s PPQ position, and restart in response to a host’s transport restarting.
• (fix:RTAS) Fix for the right-channel muting when bypassing in Pro Tools when used on a mono to stereo track.
• (improvement) Significantly improved UI response speed; reduced CPU usage when parameters are automated whilst the UI is open.
• (improvement:Windows) Removed C++ runtime libraries redistributable requirement for RTAS plug-ins. The installer no longer installs the C++ runtime library redistributable components when installing the RTAS plug-ins.
• (improvement) Routing and sequencing windows are now lighter and clearer.
• (improvement) Factory presets now use a compressed pattern format, which are significantly smaller, and so improves preset loading and search times.

Sequent for Windows, Mac and Linux is available to purchase for £49 GBP.
