Initial Audio has released version 1.3.4 of the Sektor wavetable synthesizer instrument for Windows and Mac.
The update comes with various improvements and fixes.
Sektor is a polyphonic wavetable synth plugin with a highly intuitive user interface and a lot of customization features. Sektor was built to use a low amount of system resources while having a massive high quality sound.
Changes in Sektor v1.3.4
- Switched to a much cleaner sounding limiter on the output of the synth so sounds better when the volume is pushed hard.
- Made the resonance of the filter less extreme at high settings.
- Adjusted the cutoff range for the filter.
- Added 2 new filter types Analog lowpass and Analog Highpass.
- Improved the filter menu to have more descriptive names.
- Added a more analog sounding overdrive to the master section, filters and effect rack.
- Reduced the CPU usage of the Convolution reverb.
- Added a clear notes button and Humanize mode to the sequencer.
- Hold Ctrl or Command while dragging on the Osc+ page to set finer values.
- Added support for loop points in user WAV files. If the file contains loop points these will be used instead of looping from the end of the file.
- Tooltips now take longer to show, so they don’t popup quite as often.
- Improved the level meter to show peaks more accurately.
- Improved the CPU usage of the GUI.
- When Clicking the link to generate serial, the machine name and activation code are automatically entered.
- Users can now move or install Sektors content to another hard drive instead of being forced to install all content to the main drive.
- Added option to turn off tooltips.
- Added an option to turn off animations.
- Fixed: Samples where not retriggering correctly in mono mode with long release times.
- Fixed: In MPE Mode Glide wasn’t always polyphonic.
- Fixed: Heat Up 3 instruments not loading in the sample oscillator.
- Fixed: Possible crash when an Impulse response was missing.
- Fixed: Higher notes were louder in volume that lower notes, added some attenuation to balance out the difference to sound more natural.
- Fixed: Some values sticking when turning modulations off.
- Fixed: Dragging and dropping modulations was turning off all currently playing notes.
