ToneBoosters launches TB FlX and updates plugins

The TB FlX (Flex) combines equalization and dynamics processing in one plugin for Mac and Windows. By moving 5 nodes along a frequency axis, a frequency-dependent gain is defined. In TB FlX, each node has additional functionality, including the ability to define a level input/output curve (or compressor curve), the attack and release times (with classical or intelligent release curves) and the amount of stereo widening.

Features:

• Almost 100 parameters to shape the sound
• 5 nodes to control a frequency-dependent gain and compressor input/output characteristic at any frequency in the audible frequency range
• 3-node dynamics editor supporting upward compression, downward compression, expansion, and negative ratios. The compressor curves can either be a hard knee or smooth.
• Each frequency node has its own attack time, release time, and stereo widening parameter
• Compressor release curves can either be ‘classic’ or ‘intelligent’ 
• Intelligent widening algorithm – automatically disallowing out-of-phase signals at the output that sound ‘hollow’ and unpleasant
• Integrated output spectrum analyzer
• Spectrum editor and compressor editor with zoom functionality for fine-tuning
• Dry/wet control to blend between input and output

TB FlX is sold 15€ at www.toneboosters.com. You can also download a demo version (in fact a bundle with all the plugins).

ToneBoosters also updated its entire catalog of plugins to v2.8.5 and fixed a GUI redraw issue when selecting presets in some hosts. Reelbus v2.8.5 also has an improved bounce behaviour in Logic Pro and a new tape model, while Compressor and EZCompressor received two new compressor algorithms.
