eaReckon BloXpander
eaReckon has updated
BloXpander to version 1.3.0.
MIDI Improvements:
-
Tempo tap and tempo
value can be controlled via MIDI.
-
Manual edition of MIDI
assignments. A control type (switch, knob, …) can also be selected
for a better interpretation of incoming messages.
-
Insert mutes
are now controllable from the "Main Controller" in "Basic" mode.
-
New Omni MIDI input
option (input slots).
-
New Programs map
feature (MIDI Input Panel).
-
This new functionality can be
used to send Bank Select and/or Program change and/or All Notes Off MIDI
messages to inserts or MIDI outputs.
-
The programs map is a per
BloXpander channel / per MIDI channel / per target (insert or MIDI out)
feature.
-
Programs map are saved with
scenes and subscenes and can be used to quickly manage external MIDI
devices or VST samplers/ROMplers.
Audio Improvements:
-
New per channel output
modes. Four output modes are available on each channel:
-
Stereo (default).
-
Mono (a mono mix is sent to
both left and right channels).
-
Mono Mix to One Channel (a
mono mix is sent to one of the left and right channels).
-
Only One Channel (one of the
left and right channels is just muted).
-
New Option: Process
Muted Inserts. At the cost of an increased CPU usage of muted
inserts, these latter still process audio while they are muted in order to
avoid unwanted residual audio when they are un-muted.
Fixed bugs:
-
Some plug-ins provide an option
to change the arrangement of their outputs (number of outputs, mono, stereo,
…). When loading a scene featuring assigned "Multi-outputs", BloXpander now
checks for changes in plug-ins' IO.
-
New workarounds implemented to
improve compatibility with some 3rd party plug-ins.
BloXpander is a
software plug-ins host originally designed to meet the requirements of
musicians and engineers in "live" situations (but it can find a place in the
studio as well). Its interface is visually attractive and clear, the

very fast. The plug-ins manipulation is direct (especially when BloXpander is
coupled to an external MIDI controller).
