Voxengo LF Max Punch version 1.3 update is now available for download.  LF Max Punch is a professional audio effect plugin for music and sounds where low-frequency thump and punch are most welcome, and where distortion is applied specifically to bring the bass sound to life.  LF Max Punch is available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats, for Mac OS X and Windows computers.

Version 1.3 update implements the following changes:

• Additional visual look variation settings added.
• The "No Multi-Channel Operation" global switch was added that fixes incompatibility with some non-VST2.3 compliant VST hosts.
• The "Show All Channel Meters" routing switch added.

LF Max Punch plug-in dynamically emphasizes selected bass frequency band, applies a smooth saturation over it, and produces additional sub-harmonic content, with the ability to blend it with the original bass band sound.  Optional compression can then be applied to the resulting low-frequency sound.  LF Max Punch first splits the broad-band signal into low- and high-frequency bands and then applies the aforementioned effects to the lower band only.

LF Max Punch features:

• Puncher module
• Saturator module (2 modes)
• Sub-harmonic synthesizer
• Built-in compressor
• Effect monitoring switch
• Multi-channel processing
• Internal channel routing
• Channel grouping
• Mid/side processing
• Up to 8x oversampling
• 64-bit floating point processing
• Preset manager
• Undo/redo history
• A/B comparisons
• Contextual hint messages
• Zero processing latency

LF Max Punch is available for purchase on-line for USD 69.95.  Demo version of Voxengo LF Max Punch and other pro audio plug-ins can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: http://www.voxengo.com/

We’re proud to announce the release of Augustus Loop v2.3.0.

The headline here is that this is our first 64 bit Mac OS X VST, and so is usable without a ‘bridge’ in apps such as the 64 bit version of Reaper, and will be usable in any forthcoming 64 bit Mac release of Cubase.

The AU and Windows VST versions are also updated. Full change list:

* First 64 bit Mac OS X VST release.
* Improved handling of mouse events (dragging knobs would temporarily freeze the host UI on some platforms).
* Improved accuracy of MIDI event handling.
