MeldaProduction updates all effects and MPowerSynth to 8.08 and MDrummer to 5.03

1st December 2014 - KVR Audio News

MeldaProduction has updated all effect plugins and MPowerSynth to 8.08 and MDrummer to 5.03. For effects and MPowerSynth the update brings mostly fixes and improvements, for MDrummer there are lots of additions. Everything can be downloaded from the download page.

Attention for AAX users: due to the ProTools workflow for managing surround capable effects MeldaProduction removed the stereo->surround extensions. Surround is still supported of course, but only configurations n->n (5.1->5.1, 7.0->7.0 etc.). Expansion configurations such as stereo->5.1 are no longer supported in AAX. If you need these, please install version 8.07 from the download archive.

Changes for effects:

MMultiBandConvolution kernel advanced settings are now displayed non-modally - not hidden when you click outside of the window.
Fix: Mono->Stereo expansion didn't work correctly in ProTools.
Fix: Some preset windows didn't show up.
Fix: Preset tree scrollbar sometimes didn't follow the actual range when opened using auto-open feature.
Fix: Fixed various problems with automation recording.

Changes for MPowerSynth:

Convolution FX kernel advanced settings are now displayed non-modally - not hidden when you click outside of the window.
Fix: Arpeggiator might have omitted the first note if the playback has been enabled at the position of the beginning of the note in some hosts.
Fix: Note could hang in Bitwig when it generated a zero-length note.
Fix: Some preset windows didn't show up.
Fix: MPowerSynth could cause problems with harmony using delays when changing voicing mode.

Optimized signal generator harmonic mode custom sample analyzer, which now saves the analyzed harmonics, so that it is usable even if the target sample is not available.
