Blue Cat's Stereo Chorus

Description

Based on Blue Cat's Chorus plugin technology, Blue Cat's Stereo Chorus has the same versatility and crystal-clear sounding capabilities as its little brother, plus a subtle to very deep stereo effect feature: just play with the 'stereo' control and get this famous widening stereo chorus effect. You will feel like the sound is turning around your head.

The built-in Blue Cat's skinning engine enables you to skin this plug-in: adapt the user interface to your needs and customize the look of your Blue Cat's plugin! 3 skins are included in the install package. This web sites offers you to download more skins or learn how to create new ones. It's all free!

The 'Smooth Update' mechanism will let you enjoy continuous mono to stereo transitions without any audible 'click' or 'plop' : automation support is smooth and precise.

You can now control this plug-in with an external MIDI controller thanks to the included advanced MIDI CC mapping support.

2006/11/29	V3.2
	Now supports Blue Cat's Skinnning language 1.2.4. Parameters can be fine tuned when the shift key is down. CPU efficiency improvement: no processing occurs when input is silent. Settings window now loads faster. (Bug fix): in some plug-in adapters (such as FxPansion's VST to RTAS adapter) the GUI did not display properly when first loaded. (Bug fix): when reinstalling the software in another directory, the "skin not found" message was displayed.
2006/09/27	V3.1
	Minor UI enhancement for hosts not supporting Windows XP Theme. (Bug fix): presets load/save did not always work properly in Sonar 5 for some european versions of Windows XP.
2006/08/30	V3.0
	Advanced MIDI control with customizable parameters curve response and MIDI learn. Blue Cat's Skinning language V1.2.1 support. Now supports one skin per preset and a global default skin: customize each instance of the plug-in in the same session. All parameters can now be fine tuned thanks to a text-edit popup window that appears when double clicking on user interface widgets. Warning: because it now supports MIDI events, the DirectX plug-in may appear in the "Synth" or "DXi" category instead of "effects" in some hosts (such as Cakewalk Sonar). If it does not appear in you host, you might want to use our DXi Manager to de-activate MIDI features. Warning: this new version breaks the presets compatibility, and is thus installed as a new plug-in. If you have a previous version installed and do not want to keep it, just uninstall it manually.
2006/03/07	V2.0
