Lese has announced an update to its audio plugin for smoothing time. Version 1.1.0 of Fletcher adds more features based on user feedback.
With the original shimmer knob, we’ve made the knob also able to go below 0, allowing for “anti-shimmer”, which rolls of the high frequencies, eats away at the signal, and adds lower “undertones”.
We’ve also added a “freeze” button, which just freezes the state of the ballistics smoothing (meaning that you can still do other alterations on it, like the wash processing). The freezing can also be toggled automatically by an external sidechain, sort of like how you can retrigger freezing in Glow.
Also updated is the Frahm multi-spatializer effect plugin. Version 1.3.0 comes with 6 more “force field algorithms”, some of which alter themselves over time based on the particle positions, as well as improvements to the interface.
Additionally, Frahm (as well as our other spatial audio plugins Eigen and Transfer) is now able to produce Ambisonic audio output instead of just a stereo/binaural channel set. This means that if you want to use Frahm’s output with external Ambisonic tools, now you can!
Ambisonic encoding is supported on all of our spatial plugins up to the 7th order, and the order can either be specified in the logo menu, or it will automatically decide the order based on the number of available audio channels.
More improvements
The updates are free for owners of Fletcher and Frahm, and new customers can purchase the plugins for $45 USD and $55 USD, respectively at the Lese store and from Plugin Boutique.
