Aspect

(fix) Fix for issue where tempo synced LFOs would not align when running the plug-in in a host with the transport stopped (introduced in 1.7.18)

(fix) Fixed bug introduced into lag generator and random functions in 1.7.17 which could cause older presets to sound different under certain circumstances.

(new) AAX 64-bit Native plug-ins for Windows and Mac OS X.
(fix: Mac OS X VST) UI now renders correctly on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
(fix) Polyphonic aftertouch now works correctly for all presets.
(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.

Fixed in 1.7.10 are the following issues:

Fixed issue which made audio rate modulation of either oscillator's pitch by the noise modulation source slightly quantized. This caused previously created presets using this configuration to sound slightly different in Aspect 1.7.9.
Fixed bug which occasionally caused newly saved user presets to still be marked with the changed (*) flag in the preset name display.

Improvements in this release include:

(Windows) 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.
(Windows) For the Windows VST plug-in, when using a relative path of "." for the presets folder, the path is now relative to the plug-in's DLL file and not the host's executable file. This makes it possible to easily create a portable or USB stick install of Aspect.
Standalone versions now support multiple simultaneous hardware controllers.
(Linux) User presets are now displayed in alphabetical order in the preset browser.
(Linux) Improved UI font selection means that a more appropriate font is often used in any Linux distributions which provide only a small selection of default fonts.
Fixed an issue where the OK button in the save preset browser would temporarily become disabled when switching from the Factory presets selection.
Various minor compatibility fixes for certain hosts.
Various minor user interface tweaks

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.)
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.
Preset meta data (ie, author name, notes, tags) is now correctly displayed after loading an .FXP based preset or restoring a saved project.
Vastly improved CPU usage when recalculating DSP graph as a result of realtime re-wiring of a modular preset.
Standalone application tempo can now be set to within two decimal places of accuracy.
Fix for GUI freeze that could occur in certain Mac OS X VST hosts.
Fix for LFOs being incorrectly reset every four bars when using the standalone application.
Fix for minor issue which caused a changed preset to temporarily be reverted to its original state when previewing presets via the browser.

* Fix for crash (on both Windows and Linux) that could occur when 'space' is pressed when confirming the overwrite preset dialog.
* VU meters now automatically reset their overload status after a few seconds.
* Preset Browser is now maximized to fill the entire plug-in window.
* For Windows VST (32-bit and 64-bit), the preferences file can be placed alongside the DLL file to facilitate USB or portable installs.
* Clearer font in PDF documentation.

* Fix for hung note that could occasionally occur when using legato triggering for Envelope 1.
* Fix for certain non-ASCII characters being either missing, or displayed incorrectly in the interface.
* Integrated preset browser is now re-sizeable.

* Native 64-bit VST and Standalone application versions for Linux.
* Integrated undo and redo, with unlimited history size.
* Mono legato modes, with selectable low, high, and last note priority.
* Mono unison: stack up to five unison voices in mono legato mode.
* Independent trigger mode for each envelope: retrigger, reset, or legato.
* Category support in preset browser.
* Increased filter cutoff modulation range.
* CPU usage is now consistent when using the Mac OS X RTAS plug-ins.
* Windows VST 32-bit plug-ins and standalone applications no longer depend on additional runtime libraries. However, these libraries are still required - and installed - for the RTAS format plug-ins.
* libjack is now weak-linked for standalone Linux. This means JACK is not required (but still recommended) for Linux users.
* 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 rare issue that stopped presets from loading in Linux Renoise when LADSPA plug-in support is enabled.
* Factory presets now load significantly faster.
* Additional presets.
* Various host compatibility fixes.

This release adds the following improvements:

* Fixed: Issue causing a stereo Aspect VST instance to appear as two mono channels when routing in Renoise.
* Fixed: In some circumstances, the current preset could still be marked as unsaved when saving it over an existing preset.
* New: Factory presets can now be deleted.
* New: Restore factory presets function to reinstate any deleted Factory presets.
* New: Confirmation now required when overwriting an existing preset.
