Blue Cat Audio has released several updates for Blue Cat’s MB-7 Mixer 2, their multiband processing plug-in with VST hosting capabilities.
Version 2.03
The updates mainly improve compatibility with additional VST plug-ins (including VST Shells), adds support for virtual instruments hosting, tempo synchronization and more (full list below). A free add-on skin is now available for download to streamline the usage of the plug-in in single band (broadband) mode.
