Both maintenance releases are containing important stability improvements, especially for the memory issues that were causing crashes when deleting plugins in some host applications.
The Density mkII v2.0.2 update is available through the downloads page here.
The FerricTDS v1.0.2 update is available through the KVR Developer Challenge over here.
FerricTDS - Tape Dynamics Simulator
Inspired by the smooth dynamic shaping capabilities of some high-end reel-to-reel tape recorders, this plug-in simulates three of the most distinctive and much appreciated sonic effects generated by these devices: Read More »
Density mk II
Houston, we have a release date! The release of the Density mkII VST plug-in is now scheduled to end of this month. More specs and details will appear here during the next days or so – stay tuned. If you tend to react allergic concerning teasers better stay away a while from here 
Last week I had asked about some feedback through the polls here. The results on the polls about samplerates and SSE1 support where unsurprisingly straight forward and so I skip those here.
More confusing to me was the result to the other poll in which I’ve asked: “If NastyCS would be extended to be a complete pre-amp/channelstrip emu, which features would be a must-have?”.
A cumulated 31% of all votes went to saturation/distortion type of things (Tape (12%), Tube (10%), Pre-Amp (9%)) and afterwards there is showing up a 8% demand for transient shaping – why do you expect such things in a channelstrip that much? I would have had expected to see sophisticated compression options to be on top of the list but this just appears in 7% of the total votes.
After dropping the dev challenge last year the folks from KVR now have finally announced the long awaited third free-for-all audio plug-in / audio applications designer event for autumn this year! And guess what? Dreamteam Patrick and Herbert already do have some exciting plans in the making and are ready and up to join the challenge. If you ever asked how to support, donate or give something back to us this is now an easy task: just support us with your votes during the challenge 
Density mkII
The rumors were true: After quiet a long time of ignoring any update/improvement plans on this one there is finally a completely reworked mkII version already in the making.
Committing to the original concept of Density, the mkII is also aimed at the very same goal: smooth and versatile dynamic processing on the 2bus to provide density in a mix and so to glue all things together.
So if you expect a general purpose compressor or something Read More »
