Dec 17, 2013
MacOS X Intel
New Features:

New layout to display mapped automation controls in the main user interface.
Added phase flip buttons for each parallel chain, so that you can easily compute differences between signals or correct phase problems introduced by some plug-ins.
Link all pre and post gain knobs so that pre gain changes are automatically compensated by the post gain knobs. This can be used to easily push dynamics or distortion plug-ins without increasing the volume.
Fixes and compatibility improvements:
when no plug-in is inserted, level meters remained frozen when stopping transport.
fixing crashes with GRM Tools plug-ins that changed their audio I/O count dynamically ("Reson" for example).
