V4 upgrades for single plug-ins also available.

New in SoundToys V4

• Decapitator Analog Saturation Modeler — Analog saturation has long been the magic mojo that engineers have used as their swiss army knife of mixing. It’s used on drums, bass, vocals guitars, everything. It can be used to beef things up, thin things out, give them some edge, fry them up nice, add a bit of warmth, pull things out of the mix, or even create a signature sound. Subtle to extreme, analog saturation is the golden child of great mixes. That’s why we took our time, bought and listened to all the great analog classics, and painstakingly created that magic for you in Decapitator.
• PanMan Rhythmic Auto-Panner — PanMan takes the supposedly simple process of moving audio back and forth in the stereo field and gives it that special touch that you’ve come to expect from our twisted minds. It features an over the top range of panning modes to recreate classic analog auto-panners plus some of the cool modes from our other plugs to push it a bit further into the future. With MIDI sync to tempo, preset storage, dynamic control, and automation you get modern innovation alongside the classic features from hard to find vintage analog hardware. Control width, speed, direction and more with the most full featured panner you’ve ever seen.

Voxengo has released version 1.8 of VariSaturator, a saturation audio effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

• Parameter automation on AU Mac OS X now shows real parameter values.
• Preset “update” function implemented in the preset manager.

• User interface operation problem on 64-bit Windows fixed.
