SideKick4 version change logs

Change Log :

Version 4.3.2

  1. Extended support of high end multi threaded systems using very low audio buffer settings.

  2. Added shift + click functionality to the knobs, which allows quicker fine-tuning of the compression settings.

 

Version 4.3

  1. Virtual buses CPU management optimization.

  2. Fix for interface issues with cubase 5 and possible other hosts.

  3. Fix for stability issues in Renoise 2.


Version 4.2

  1. Internal optimization, which lowered the side chain delay in most cases to half the amount of previous versions.

  2. Added unique numbering of the side chain instances that are running making it easier to see with which instance you are working. (the no. in the circle, top-left corner)

  3. The listen button (added since 4.1.5) setting is now automatable and saveable. Making the sidekick also usable as a simple audio re-router within your host.

  4. Added a filtering section to the plugin. With a optional low & high cut filter on both the side chain input and audio output. The filter settings can be applied to the sidechain control signal (the 'input' button). And/or to the outputted audio (the 'output' button), which allows you to only side chain the audio between the low and high cut filters. (spectral ducking/keying).

  5. You can now input values with the keyboard. All parameter setting displays are now editable by double clicking the display.

Version 4.1.5
  1. Among other fixes, this version contains an important fix for the parameters resetting after reloading a saved project.
  2. Added decibel notation to the meters.
  3. Added a 'listen' button above the receive bus selection box. Which will allow you to hear the output of the selected receive bus.
  4. Added a display below the receive bus selection box, which shows the delay of the side-chain in milliseconds. The delay is dependant on the VST host and its audio settings. 
Version 4.1

 

  1. Fixes for the side-chain routing extending the compatibility with multiple VST hosts. Support for variable buffer sizes and eliminating the dependency of computation order within the host.
  2. A led to indicate if audio is being received from a virtual bus.
  3. Parameter presets to make a side-chaining setup even faster.
  4. A drive knob with soft saturation to 'fatten up' the output signal.

Version 4.0

  1. 32 stereo virtual channels for side-chain routing.
  2. Virtual channels are upgraded to virtual buses, making it easier to create side-chain mixes. And thereby supports (virtually) unlimited instances of SideKick4.
  3. Ratio & gain control, Lifting the effect up from a gate effect to full compressor. 
  4. Optional stereo-linking, by turning stereo-linking off you can create expressive stereo ducking & keying effects.
  5. Multiple audio input and output meters creating better transparency in the interface for side-chain routing.
  6. All parameters, including the side-chain routing can be automated and saved by the VST host. This ensures the side-chain routing will stay intact after saving and closing your project.
