DDMF Metaplugin
DDMF has released version 2.1 of
Metaplugin. From now on, a
synthesizer version is shipped along with the effect version, so that users
can build their own meta-instruments. Metaplugin is now also available in 64
bit for Mac OS X (10.5 and higher, Intel only).
Furthermore, a VST/AU plugin
version of ChordDetector ($15) has been released, as well as
the standalone Windows app Virtual Audio Recorder ($15),
which is designed to provide a simple way of all-you-can-hear recording under
Windows.

Metaplugin
is a flexible piece of software that loads other VST and AU plug-ins and
lets you interconnect them arbitrarily. Plug-ins can be dragged onto the
freely resizeable interface, connections are made by dragging cables between
the in- and outputs of the loaded effects. Chains can be saved so that the
user can build custom effects out of existing modules.
As an extra, a flat-summing
four band crossover filter and a mid-side matrix are included in the
package. This way, multi-band and mid-side versions of existing plug-ins can
be built instantly.
Metaplugin supports up to 6
in-out-channels. The user can load it, e.g., into a 5.1 channel of the host
and chain plug-ins on all six channels (and across channels). Also, the
dry/wet amount going through each of the loaded plug-ins can be adjusted
(shift-clicking on the plug-in rectangles turns them into horizontal
sliders).
