MMR v1.4.15
MULTIBAND MODULAR RACK v1.4.15
Changes since v1.4.10 — cumulative release notes
MASTER EQ: DIRECT MID/SIDE CONTROL AND FILTER SHAPES
- Added always-visible SIDE BOOST and MID BOOST for each of the ten EQ points, each from -18.00 to +18.00 dB with a zero default.
- Base GAIN remains: effective Side gain = Gain + Side Boost; effective Mid gain = Gain + Mid Boost. Static combinations can reach +/-36 dB. Mid/Side processing does not generate stereo from mono or automatically match loudness.
- Added Low Shelf and High Shelf alongside Band, with matching DSP and separate Mid/Side response curves. Q controls Band width or shelf transition resonance.
- Select points directly on the graph; removed the point list. Active points are white, the selected active point yellow and muted points grey. Muted points retain their position and can be selected and enabled again. Enlarged selected points.
- Added the S / LS / B / HS / M strip: green Solo, blue shape selection and red point Mute/bypass.
- Replaced separate HP/LP switches and menus with stepped OFF / 12 / 24 / 48 dB/oct controls next to Frequency.
- Retained the full-width graph above the controls. Horizontal FX-style Power rockers preserve their artwork proportions; title strips, headings and point buttons are larger. Rounded frames separate the control groups.
INDEPENDENT DYNAMIC EQ
- Added DYNAMIC, THRESHOLD, RATIO, ATTACK and RELEASE independently for each point. Controls follow the selected graph point.
- Threshold: -36.00 to 0.00 dBFS; continuous Ratio: 0.50:1 to 12.00:1; Attack: 0.10 to 500.00 ms; Release: 10.00 to 3000.00 ms.
- Defaults: OFF, Threshold 0.00 dBFS, Ratio 1.00:1, Attack 30.00 ms and Release 100.00 ms. OFF/ON preserves edited settings.
- Detection follows the selected Band/Low-Shelf/High-Shelf region before its own EQ point and preserves anti-phase stereo energy. Ratios above 1 reduce that region above threshold; ratios below 1 expand it. Ratio 1 is neutral.
- Common Mid/Side dynamic correction preserves their static contrast and is limited to +/-18 dB. Combined static/dynamic gain may reach +/-54 dB; no hidden limiter was added.
- The response graph shows the actual combined filter response and the selected point's current dynamic correction. Dynamic filtering updates independently of static EQ smoothing and adds no lookahead or block latency.
- Four compact groups — HP, selected EQ point, Dynamic, LP — fit thirteen knobs in one row. Inactive dynamics are greyed. New English Tutorial Mode help explains the controls for beginners.
FULL SECTION BYPASS AND INACTIVE DISPLAYS
- EQ OFF bypasses HP/LP, point EQ, Mid/Side and Solo Band. Solo settings remain saved for reactivation.
- Limiter OFF bypasses Input gain, the detector, limiting and Gain Compensation. A dedicated aligned dry path retains the existing delay compensation instead of reusing previously amplified limiter-buffer contents.
- Short 20 ms transitions avoid abrupt switching. Master Mix and final Master Output remain independent in MASTER mode.
- Inactive EQ/Limiter panels are subtly dimmed and grayscale. Their graphs, histories, FFT/display timers and audio telemetry stop; settings remain editable and Power stays accessible.
- Master Limiter now has its Power rocker on the title strip. Removed LIMITER CONTROLS, centred the knob rows and reduced unused vertical space. Waveform remains after Gain Compensation and before final Master Output.
ROUTING VIEW
- ROUTING replaces EQ/Limiter panels with a centred explanation rather than leaving inactive Master controls on screen.
- LOW goes to 3/4, MID to 5/6 and HIGH to 7/8; main output 1/2 is silent. Master EQ, Limiter, Mix and final Output processing are bypassed.
- Enable the three stereo output buses and connect them to destination tracks in your DAW. MMR does not create tracks, sends or host connections automatically.
- Returning to MASTER restores its controls and saved settings.
STATE, AUTOMATION AND VALIDATION
- Total host parameters: 1152, up from 1022 in v1.4.10. Additions are appended; existing parameter identities are preserved.
- Earlier Linked M/S controls remain for saved-state/automation compatibility. Direct boosts adopt the effective gains when edited. Older states load with Dynamic EQ OFF; no manual preset migration is required.
- VST3 identity, existing effect/synth features, rack oversampling and saved-state formats are retained. No new image assets were needed for these changes.
- Release x64 VST3 built successfully. Automated checks covered DSP, bypass, selective dynamics, anti-phase stereo, state, per-point bindings, parameter ordering and compact layouts. Neutral Dynamic EQ matched v1.4.14 across all 1102 earlier parameter records and five audio regression cases.
- The owner confirmed v1.4.15 working in the tested DAW setup. This is not a claim of exhaustive validation across every host and configuration.
Dynamic expansion, shelf resonance and combined boosts can increase peaks. Positive post-ceiling Gain Compensation or final Master Output gain can exceed an earlier limiter ceiling.
