Cableguys have released ShaperBox v3.5.1, a free update for their rhythmic effects plugin "for modern mixes and infinite inspiration".
Each Shaper now has a Favorites section that stores up to 9 of your favorite LFO shapes. Use it to build up a bank of your custom VolumeShaper sidechain curves, your favorite time-twisting patterns in TimeShaper, and so on. Your Favorites can be exported and imported in bulk via the Main Menu for backup, setting up a new installation, or to share with others.
LFO copy/paste now works globally across all instances of ShaperBox – and even between other compatible Cableguys plugins (FilterShaper XL will soon receive this feature via an update).
Presets can now be saved and loaded in FXP format via the Main Menu.
Your custom ShaperBox startup settings can now be stored via the Main Menu. For example, always start ShaperBox with your favorite VolumeShaper multiband ducking setup.
Finally, Cableguys have improved the MIDI Switch feature with better visual feedback, including note names that light up when a MIDI note is received.
