Sapphire v 2.5.2
The latest version of the Sapphire plugin just came out today. Here is a quick summary of the changes.
Sapphire Sauce
This release includes a new filter module called Sauce that is a polyphonic reincarnation of the Gravy stereo filter. The filter algorithm is the same, only it works for 1…16 channels instead of just 2, plus all the CV inputs are polyphonic in Sauce, unlike in Gravy where polyphonic CV is summed to a single value.
Big thanks to @DaveVenom for suggesting the idea, and the name, for Sauce!
Here is a side-by-side comparison:
Another difference between Gravy and Sauce: In Gravy you have a 3-way mode switch to select from lowpass, bandpass, or highpass output. In Sauce, all three outputs are available simultaneously.
Output limiters in Gravy and Sauce
There is also now an optional output limiter available in the right-click context menu for both Sauce and Gravy. The output limiter is the same algorithm used in Elastika and Tube Unit. This can be helpful especially when using higher resonance settings, to protect from excessive ringing amplitudes:
Thanks again to @DaveVenom for this suggestion.
Channel count indicators
The other change in Sapphire v 2.5.2 is an LED-style display of output channel counts in Pop, Hiss, and Split/Add/Merge:
The ability to change the number of output channels using a slider in the context menu was already there. But now you can see the channel count on the front panel without having to go into the context menu.
