Pulsar Audio has announced an update to its complete range of audio plugins, bringing new graphics rendering and various other improvements and fixes to Echorec, Mu, Smasher, 1179 and Massive.
Our plug-ins previously relied on OpenGL for graphics rendering. However, display problems were reported due to compatibility issues with some specific graphics drivers. To solve this, we have developed a new graphics rendering system that uses the best available graphics features, such as Direct3D, Vulkan, or OpenGL, improving compatibility and optimizing resources.
In addition, we have also fixed some major bugs on macOS: a crash on Pro Tools on ARM systems and a scanning problem in Audio Unit on Final Cut.
