Updates to all plugins

    I hope you are all doing well in these difficult times. We are doing fine here. Working from home is not much of a change for us, of course. Fredrik and I have been working remotely together for over 20 years. But these are undoubtedly tough times for us all. Luckily there is nothing safer than staying indoors and making music on a computer, or developing music software for that matter. So we will continue doing just that. As always.

    We are pleased to announce that updates to our entire line of products are available today. With these updates we have taken the opportunity to refactor and clean out obsolete technologies in order to move forwards into the 2020's. Some of our products have not been updated in over five years, so there has been a lot to work on.

    While most changes in these updates are under the hood there are some very visible additions too. First and foremost, all plugins (except Synplant) now features high resolution graphics and re-scalable user interfaces. (Synplant has however been updated with other bug and compatibility fixes.)

    Second, Microtonic can now be extended with scripts written in Javascript and these scripts can display custom user interface elements. A separate installer with a selection of clever scripts is available on our download page for registered customers. Here is a little demo:

    YouTube Video

    For a detailed list of other fixes and changes please refer to the individual product user guides. The most important compatibility fix is that our plugins are now compatible with Mac hosts that are built with the latest SDK from Apple. (This includes Cubase 10.5 and Garageband.)

    We have also updated the official Permut8 Firmware Installer with the previously released Specular firmware as well as two brand new firmwares: Vortex and JS80RMX. Vortex is a generative synth (based on the "about box easter egg" in Microtonic) and JS80RMX lets you import songs from the JS80TRX chiptune tracker and transform them beyond recognition. Have a listen.

    Just download and run the latest installer to update. Since we have changed some details in our license management system you will need to authorize all the plugins again. This is easily done with the Authenticator after installation. For clarity we have reset the installation count shown by the Authenticator, although we have never had any hard limit on the number of personal computers that you may install our software on.

    Have fun with these updates and stay safe!

    / Magnus and Fredrik

    Update: Please note that Mac versions require Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

  • Neil Mitchell-Goodson

    A suspicious mind may conclude that the lack of a user interface update for Synplant might indicate that version 2 is near(ish) release?

    Was literally going to write that, as couldn't figure it out at first! Right click on GUI and zoom :)

    Also, you can click on the menu (arrow button) located in the top left of each plugin. I think the only plugin that doesn't have the menu button is Bitspeek?

  • Kirke Jan Blankenship

    Thank you. Still, my very Secret Weapons :)~

  • aoVI

    Thank you for making great software even better.

  • Akod

    What a nice surprise! Great! Thank you!

    Hope you're not too depleted by all that work and it's not too soon to say that, but I'd love to be able in turn to support you by buying some new thing soon, though! (Hopefully a new version of Synplant of course...)

    Be safe.

  • Randy Hayes

    How wonderful! Thank you for all you do for musicians!

  • K C

    Thank you

  • jeff

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • Hans Alois Plank

    How do you resize uTonic 3.3 GUI on Win10? Cannot find a way.

  • Hans Alois Plank

    Finally figured it out:
    Click on the menu button (first bold triangle arrow button located in the top left corner), choose "Zoom" and you will be able to change the plugin window size in a new field top left with (+ and -) percentiges of default sice.
    Manual!!!
    Anyway, great, thanks!

    Hi,

    A Big Thank You to SonicCharge and Crew for the latest update.

    MicroTonic ver 3.3 with a scalable GUI is so much nicer to work with compared to the older tiny GUI. (Finally) .

    Here is a pic of the new ver. 3.3 MicroTonic on my Studio's TV HD Screen.
