Pi is an innovative, multi-channel phase interactions mixer plug-in engine for Mac and PC.

Pi works to improve the summing of a DAW or a mixer. Pi dynamically minimizes frequency cancellations between instruments within the mix, improves mono compatibility and brings back the lost depth and focus lost when overlapping frequencies collide.

Changes in PI V1.0.4

- Chnl Weight – Since gain plays a major role in channels' phase influence and sensitivity in a mix, some program material can get strongly influenced by other channels in the mix when their level is relatively low or when they decay into lower levels.
- Global Lookahead Buffer
- Fixed keyboard focus issues in Cubase and Pro Tools in Windows
- Fixed bug causing drop-outs in some VST hosts
