AIR Music Tech announced today the launch of a public beta that brings Apple Silicon, VST 3 compatibility and improved Windows 11 to some of their most classic plugins, including Xpand!2, Structure, Strike, and Transfuser 2 but to name a few.

Kudos for making the effort. Any news about the scalable UI you mentioned in 2017? (viewtopic.php?p=6950202#p6950202)

nice move from air music tech! very nice and thank you!

I hope the well known bug of Transfuser 2 all of a sudden unable to find its own samples library file gets finally fixed too.

According to the changelogs the only changes are VST3 support (WIN/MAC) and support for Apple Silicon Processors (MAC).

Can't download the installers (server timeout). I assume too much traffic?

Super stoked about Transfuser. That is an epic plugin.

How are things looking for HiDPI scaling for Windows with these plugins? Is there currently a way to scale up to 200% of the original size for those using high resolution monitors?

They are asking to report bugs to fix them.. the known bugs with any plugins and Transfuser 2 infamous can't access its own samples file all of a sudden bug would still be there if they don't fix it so a VST3 version would still be buggy just like the VST2 unless the code gets checked and fixed... Reporting that and any other bug it should have some programmer fix the code.

I’m really happy to hear this. got my fingers crossed

Very nice to hear that these classic plugins are getting some much needed upgrades.
These and Audjoo's Helix are literally the only VST2 plugins that I refuse to uninstall.

An upscaled and fixed Transfuser 2 would be something. Still one of my favorite drum plugins of all time.

+ Linplug Spectral for me

BEWARE!

I installed the current beta, selecting only the VST3 version. The installer deleted all of my factory (and some of my purchased) presets from the Program Files(86)\AIR Music Technology\Hybrid folder. This resulted in the presets no longer being available when I launched the new VST3 version.

The installer loaded presets into the Program Files\AIR Music Technology\Hybrid folder but the plug-in could not access them.

Luckily, I have another installation and was able to recover my presets by copying them from the other system to my Program Files(86)\AIR Music Technology\Hybrid folder.

Unfortunately, those presets don't seem to be playing well with the new version. They are lacking certain elements.
