v0.8.3 - plugin scanner fixes, send/receive auto-reconnect

• mcfx_graph/anything: make sure plugin scanner is included in build, avoid having plugin scanner ghost processes, include input/output nodes in marque selection

• mcfx_send/receive: auto-reconnect when reloading session, report IP address in GUI, avoid duplicate entries in connection list

v0.8.1 - beta versions of mcfx_graph, mcfx_send/receive

• mcfx_graph: build for windows, add copy/paste, fix vst3 channel count selection, make json files portable by not saving the absolute plugin path, save/recall input/output node positions, add scrolling to matrix parameter view

• mcfx_convolver: add individual ir .wav export to inspector

• improved mcfx_anything robustness, disable editing of children's GUI - all parameters should stay in sync with the main plugin instance. use mcfx_graph if you want to have different parameters for each plugin instance.

• New: (beta version) mcfx_graph — flexible plug-in graph / patchbay. Host any number of VST2/VST3/AU plug-ins as nodes, connect them with wires, summing on shared inputs, with native gain / mute-phase / matrix mixer / delay nodes, nested subgraphs, multi-select + chain-connect, undo/redo, drag-drop JSON load/save, 256 DAW-automatable forwarding parameters, and a searchable plug-in selector with format filters

• New: (beta version) mcfx_send and mcfx_receive - send/receive multichannel audio via local network, with low latency and auto-discovery - for really fast setup eg. in computer music ensembles, spatial audio concerts, ...

• build Win/Mac VST3 installer as github action

v0.7.2 - anything stability improvement

• mcfx_anything: improve crash resilience
• mcfx_convolver: save/recall master gain, use arrow keys to navigate in fir inspector matrix

v0.7.1 - new mimoeq, performance optimizations, VST3

Dedicated to Angelo Farina, whose pioneering work on multichannel audio, Ambisonics, and room acoustics measurement was a great inspiration for these plug-ins.

• mcfx_convolver: time/frequency inspector of individual FIR filters, performance optimizations (avoid allocation in audio callback, convolver engine improvements) - thanks to Angelo Farina, Luca Battisti and Domenico Stefani
• New: mcfx_anything — transforms (almost) any plug-in into a multichannel plug-in via multi-instance hosting, parameter sync, DAW automation forwarding, and out-of-process scanning
• New: mcfx_mimoeq — multichannel MIMO parametric filter (IIR, FIR, delay, gain) with diagonal and per-path chains, up to 24 automated bands, spectrum analyzer, and JSON preset support, wire or matrix view to add/delete/inspect input-output paths
• mcfx_delay: fix delay time rounding issue
• VST3 plug-ins now automatically adjust to the track's channel count — one binary per plug-in, up to 64 channels (AU and VST2 support up to 128); VST3 is recommended going forward
• update to JUCE 8

v0.6.3 - support 128 channels, filter improvements

• Build includes 128 channel version of all plugins (Reaper supports 128 channels now)

• mcfx_filter: fix parameter smoothing to avoid instabilities and glitches while changing filter parameters, performance optimizations.

v0.6.1

mcfx_convolver: support loading .wav files (a .conf file will be written to disk and loaded in the background!), support drag/drop .wav or .conf files onto the GUI for loading.

if you upgrade from an older (< v0.6.0) release also check install instructions in https://github.com/kronihias/mcfx/releases/tag/v0.6.0

v0.6.0 - Native Apple Silicon release

Download the pre-built VST2 plugins for MacOS and Windows.

This is the first release that features an installer for MacOS, and is natively built for Intel Macs and Apple Silicon.

You may have to remove your old versions manually - check /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ or ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ for existing mcfx_*.vst plugins - and delete them.

The new installer will copy the plugins to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/mcfx

Download for MacOS: mcfx_v0.6.0_macos_vst.pkg

Download for Windows 64bit: mcfx_v0.6.0_win64.exe

Presets for the convolver can be found at: https://www.matthiaskronlachner.com/?p=1910

Changes

• new builds optimized for Apple Silicon and 64 bit Intel Mac; Win 64 bit
• Update to JUCE 7
• removed soxr dependency to simplify build
• mcfx_gain_delay: allow sine generator to start at f=10 Hz

v0.5.11

Last release for Win32 binaries.

MacOS Intel only.
