Loomer Manifold / Resound

Loomer has released updates to Manifold and Resound, two cross-platform effect plugins.

Manifold is a software audio effect processor that enhances an audio signal, producing a fuller, livelier, bigger sound.

Resound is a software audio delay effect processor that emulates the sound and operation of vintage magnetic-tape echo units.

Changes in Manifold / Resound v1.6.0

  • Native 64-bit VST plug-in for Mac OS X (64-bit VST support requires Mac OS X 10.6 or greater; 64-bit Audio Unit requires Mac OS X 10.5 or greater; all other formats require Mac OS X 10.4 or greater. )
  • Integrated undo and redo, with unlimited history size.
  • [Resound] Split mechanical tape emulation controls into separate Noise and Flutter parameters.
  • Category support in preset browser.
  • MIDI Program Changes are now multi-threaded, and so will no longer potentially stall the audio synthesis.
  • Fix for GUI freeze that could occur in certain Mac OS X VST hosts.
  • Slightly reduced CPU usage and removed potential audio thread stall that could rarely occur when editing parameters.
  • Windows RTAS plug-in is now installed to the correct location on 64-bit Windows operating systems.
  • Fix for rare issue that stopped presets from loading in Linux Renoise when LADSPA plug-in support is enabled.
  • Fix for issue that could cause some presets to be instantly marked as changed after opening them in Pro Tools or Maschine on Mac OS X.
  • Factory presets now load significantly faster.
  • Fix for crash (on both Windows and Linux) that could occur when ‘space’ is pressed when confirming the overwrite preset dialog.
  • For Windows VST (32-bit and 64-bit), the preferences file can be placed alongside the DLL file to facilitate USB or portable installs.
  • Preset meta data (ie, author name, notes, tags) is now correctly displayed after loading an .FXP based preset or restoring a saved project.
  • VU meters now automatically reset their overload status after a few seconds.
  • Various host compatibility fixes.
  • PDF manual is now printer-friendly.

Manifold and Resound are available to purchase for £35 GBP + VAT each.
