detailed changelog:

Samplitude/Sequoia related issues:

* Random host crash/termination after removing Electri-Q 1.8.x from track/object inserts – Fixed
* Reproduceable crash/termination after removing Electri-Q from Sam/Seq's main plugin dialog – Fixed
* The crash didn't occur when deleting Electri-Q, but upon closing Sam/Seq's plugin dialog – Fixed


Some notes on this one:

This is a Sequoia/Samplitude specific issue and requires a special patch in order to fix it.
The patch has been integrated as an option in the Electri-Q installer.

General:

* Bypass (Curve Ignore): sound was muted – Fixed
* Bypass (Curve Ignore): freeze in some versions after stop and start playback – Fixed

* Bypass (Curve Ignore): filters sometimes stopped working after stop and start playback - Fixed

* Bandwidth lock didn't work - Fixed

* Adjusting Q by pressing left + right mouse buttons didn't work in v1.8.x - Fixed

* Adjusting Q by pressing ALT could lead to accidental filter switching - Fixed

* Redo didn't work - Fixed

* Curve node transparency didn't work in some 1.8.x versions - Fixed

* GUIs was scaled wrong in Sequoia/Samplitude with some versions/skins - Fixed

* Host dependent settings introduced to avoid crashes related to some hosts only

* Popup Menu button integrated into the GUI (not available in every skin)

* Minimum and maximum phase filter kernel calculation speed-up

* Standalone: random crashes during close - Fixed

* Standalone: graphic glitches – Fixed

* Skin: color reset made most colors black – Fixed

* Skin: added 'Default Skin' to reset old/broken skins to default


Phase Linear mode:

* Curve wasn't updated after typing in values manually – Fixed

* Curve wasn't updated after switching of filter type - Fixed

* Curve wasn't updated after switching the algorithm - Fixed

* The 'Round' High/Low pass filters were switched if sorted by Category - Fixed

* Freeze during preset fixes with at least one linear phase mode – Fixed

* Curve drawing/update is accelerated multiple times to overcome problems with graphic "spikes".

* Filter kernel calculation is accelerated as well


Linear IIR mode:

* Latency reporting was wrong/off by 12288 samples – Fixed

* Sound from previously played material was heard on next playback/bounce – Fixed

* Switching between Phase Linear and Linear IIR mode decreased the curve gain values – Fixed

* Bypass (Curve Ignore) caused increased curve gain values – Fixed


New general feature

* Band/filter gain reset to zero (Lasso select multiple nodes and hold ALT while double clicking)


Notes:

Some notes for those who may not be familiar with some of the terms/features:

* Bypass (Curve Ignore) is done by pressing X when the mouse is NOT near a curve node. (Bypassing a single filter/band is done by moving the mouse near a node and pressing X)

* Typing in values can be done by double clicking a curve node and using the value fields

* Bandwidth (+ Gain and Frequency) lock is done by clicking the respective labels in the same box.




Have fun with our new version.
