- RTAS versions of Chrome Tone (mono and stereo)
- RTAS versions of Synthesizer One (stereo only)
- dbx 165 model in CompressorBank CB4 & new wider post-EQ gain range in CompressorBank CB3 for improved de-essing
- Improved compatibility with OS 10.3 (Panther) (all plug-ins)
All updates are free to registered users.
Chrome Tone RTAS
There is more to Chrome Tone than just a collection of
effects that includes distortion, compression, gating, chorus, flange,
EQ, wah, tremolo, spring reverb and tape delay. These are all designed
with sonic flexibility for a myriad of applications from guitar,
keyboards, drums and even voice. Chrome Tone is Mixing Amplified and it
brings the world of custom guitar amps, boutique outboard gear and pedal
effects inside your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
This free RTAS update also includes 40 Rhythm Files for triggering the
envelopes of the Chrome Tone modulation effects.
McDSP has also posted a Trigger Happy tutorial on their web site to show how to use MIDI
information to trigger the performance effects within the Wah, Tremolo
and Chorus modules, creating new rhythmic possibilities.
Chrome Tone is TDM and RTAS for Mac OSX with a retail price of $495.
Synthesizer One RTAS
Synthesizer One combines many sound creation techniques including wavetable, FM, AM, Ring modulation, additive
and subtractive synthesis into a single
software plug-in and is now available for both TDM and RTAS. Also included with this
release are over 500 new and revised presets, additional virtual
cartridges, and a waveform capture tutorial. Other Synthesizer One
features include MIDI program change support, an independent effects
section per instance, a performance generator, and the ability to
analyze and resynthesize sounds from audio files.
Synthesizer One is TDM and RTAS for Mac OSX with a retail price of $495.
CompressorBank 3.3
Improvements made to CompressorBank include a wider gain range in the
CB3 configuration's active EQ section for improved de-essing. With the
new dbx 165 emulation in the CB4 configuration the list of selectable analog compressor models now includes Teletronix LA2A,
Fairchild 670, Manley Variable - MuNeve 33609C, and the UREI 1176LN.

Chrome Tone Amp for the Roland V-Studio will begin shipping spring 2004
at a list price of $195. This product is designed for the VS8F-3 Plug-In
