Shift

(new) AAX 64-bit Native plug-ins for Windows and Mac OS X.
(new) New modern flat-style UI.
(new) UI can now be dynamically rescaled.
(feature) Keyboard entry of rotary parameter values. Rotary controls can now be typed directly into by clicking on the text value below the control.
(improvement) Improved performance on real-time and very low-latency systems.
(improvement: Windows) The 32-bit and 64-bit VST plug-ins are now installed as separate components. You can choose which one(s) to install, as well as selecting different install folders for each architecture.
(feature: Linux) Added "Show Directory" to the preset browser, which will will reveal the selected preset directory in your window manager.
(improvement: Mac OS X) Installer and all installed components are now signed in compliance with Mac OS X's Gatekeeper system.
(improvement) Significantly improved UI response speed; reduced CPU usage when parameters are automated whilst the UI is open.
(improvement: Linux) Presets and configuration files are now located to comply with the XDG Base Directory Specification. Older installations will still use any existing preset library location to maintain backwards compatibility.
(fix: Mac OS X Audio Unit) Fixed minor memory leak in parameter names.
(improvement) Fixed CPU spikes which could occur when changing quickly cycling through presets.
(fix) Fixed typo in display when detuning by a diatonic fourth or fifth.
(fix) Fixed parameter jumps that could occur in certain hosts when modulating parameters using the XY pad.
(improvement) Added notches to mid-point of bi-directional modulation rotaries to make it easier to set the values to 0.

This version add the following fixes and features:

Fixed incredibly rare crash which may occur when first opening the plug-in on certain 32-bit VST Windows hosts.
Massively improved speed and responsiveness of all UI controls.
Improved CPU usage when tweaking parameters from a hardware controller.
Standalone versions now support multiple simultaneous hardware controllers.
For the Windows VST plug-in, when using a relative path for the presets folder, the path is now relative to the DLL, not the host.
MIDI Program Changes are now multi-threaded, and so will no longer potentially stall the audio synthesis.
Preset searches are now multi-threaded. Preset browser can now immediately respond to user interaction, even whilst searching a massive preset library, or when browsing a folder containing a large number of presets.

Native 64-bit VST plug-in for Mac OS X (64-bit VST support requires Mac OS X 10.6 or greater; 64-bit Audio Unit requires Mac OS X 10.5 or greater; all other formats require Mac OS X 10.4 or greater.)

Integrated undo and redo, with unlimited history size.

Preset Browser is now maximized to fill the entire plug-in window.

Windows RTAS plug-in is now installed to the correct location on 64-bit Windows operating systems.

MIDI Program Changes are now multi-threaded, and so will no longer potentially stall the audio synthesis.

Fix for crash (on both Windows and Linux) that could occur when 'space' is pressed when confirming the overwrite preset dialog.

Fixed interface lock that could occur on Cubase for Mac OS X.

Preset meta data (ie, author name, notes, tags) is now correctly displayed after loading an .FXP based preset or restoring a saved project.

VU meters now automatically reset their overload status after a few seconds.

For Windows VST (32-bit and 64-bit), the preferences file can be placed alongside the DLL file to facilitate USB or portable installs.

Windows RTAS plug-in is now installed to the correct location on 64-bit Windows operating systems.

Clearer font in PDF documentation.

Fix for rare issue that stopped presets from loading in Linux Renoise when LADSPA plug-in support is enabled.

Fix for rare issue that stopped presets from loading in Linux Renoise when LADSPA plug-in support is enabled.

Factory presets now load significantly faster.

* Native Linux 64-bit standalone application and VST plug-in.
* Fixed audible click and DC offset which could occur (albeit very rarely) when changing between certain presets.
* Fixed issue that could cause some presets to be instantly marked as changed after opening them in Pro Tools on Mac OS X.
* Presets can now be quickly grouped using categories.
* Windows installer now uses the correct admin privileges. This fixes an issue where Vista or Windows 7 could complain that Shift may not have installed correctly.
* Windows VST 32-bit plug-in and standalone applications no longer depend on additional runtime libraries. However, these libraries are still required - and installed - for the RTAS format plugins.
* Filter types are now labelled Off, LP, BP, and HP.
* Minor visual improvement to interface button controls.
* All presets from Shift v1 are now included (and in many cases improved) in factory preset library.
* Preset loading speed is improved when using MIDI Change Program messages.
* PDF manual is now printer-friendly.
* PDF Manual now contains description of Echo Shift function.

* Fix for Dry Voice Volume and Synced Delay Time UI controls not responding correctly in Digital Performer.

* Completely new user interface.
* Negligible latency: Shift now works with as little as sub millisecond delays, and so can be used as a real-time shifter or harmonizer.
* XY Pad control for real-time tweaking.
* Improved pitch shifting algorithm; grain engine parameters are now accessible for finer tuning.
* Vastly improved diatonic tracking; real-time pitch display helps fine tune tracking parameters.
* Five delay line voices (as opposed to three in the original Shift).
* Improved modulation options: four individual LFOs, with five modulation shapes (sin, saw, triangle, square, and random). Each voice has seven modulatable parameters: time, feedback, tuning, filter cutoff, filter resonance, pan position, and volume.
* Additional diatonic tracking scales.
* New preset browser, including tags, searching, hot-swapping, etc.
* Partial preset support for voices, grain settings, and diatonic tracker configurations.
