v4.0.3 New Engine Mix knob blends the band distortion engines from fully clean to fully driven without the phase cancellation a normal dry/wet control would cause on a multiband processor. Lock buttons added next to AGC, Bypass, and DC Block. Engage a lock to keep that setting unchanged when loading presets. Plugin now reports oversampling latency to the host so DAW delay compensation keeps parallel and sidechain routing in phase when 2x or 4x oversampling is active. iOS Only: two-finger crossover dragging on the band display. Grab and move two crossovers at once. NaN protection added to output stage.
