New version 2.1 now available, with bug fixes and improved Load functionality.

New features
- Load button modified – now does a Load of the bit pattern on the next quarter note clock, not on any next clock signal.
- Baseline Note is now stored in Presets.
- Bus Devices and Channels now stored in Presets.
- On Windows, clicking anywhere in application activates window, not just title bar.
- Built with Max/MSP version 5.18.

First of all, MacOSX Universal Binaries (Audio Unit and VST) are now available. And on the Windows side, a 64 bit version has been compiled (the user should load 32 bit plugins into the 32 bit version and 64 bit plugins into the 64 bit version).

Furthermore, Metaplugin now supports up to 6 in-out-channels. Which means the user can load it, e.g., into a 5.1 channel of the host and chain plugins on all six channels (and across channels). Also, the dry/wet amount going through each of the loaded plugins can be adjusted (shift-clicking on the plugin rectangles turns them into horizontal sliders). And the overall latency that is reported back to the host is now not only visible, but can also be changed manually.

Twist, bend, and mangle your sound like never before with effects that go way beyond phasing and flanging.

Enigma uses a unique combination of filters, short delay feedback loops, reverb, LFO modulation, and more to create radical, never-before-heard sonic textures.

When we heard how electro producer, DJ and remixer Charles Feelgood (Diddy, Lady Gaga, Ashlee Simpson, Billie Holiday) had tweaked the New York Studios Vol. 2 SDX for Superior Drummer 2.0® to almost beyond recognition in his ingenious productions, we had no option but to have him design a unique set of presets so he could share his incomparable brand of electro, house and disco with the world.

Charles' presets will introduce a whole new level to what is possible with the sounds and tools in Superior Drummer 2.0 and prove that the sky is literally the limit.
