Dear Customer,

We are happy to announce the release of Blue Cat's Axiom 1.5. This new version comes with many improvements and fixes, such as fx tail spillover support and completely revamped factory presets (full change list below).

This is a free update that you can download from the same location as the original full version (you may have to refresh the web page):

What's New:
New Features & Improvements:

• Tail spillover: activate tail spillover from the toolbar to play effects tail when bypassed (available for Axiom itself or built-in delays and reverbs such as Late Replies). Also applies to sub sections (channel A/B, Pre or Post FX etc.).
• Revamped Guitar & Bass Factory presets:
  - New hi hain presets using custom impulse responses (IR).
  - New responsive clean and crunch presets.
  - Reduced loudness and spectral balance discrepencies between presets.
  - Adjusted effects levels to preserve loudness when bypassed.
  - Adjusted reverb levels on all presets.
  - Most presets now support input overload gracefully (like "real world" amps): feel free to push the input gain by a few dBs!
  - New default preset to get started quickly with the software.
• Arrow keys can now be used to navigate presets, in the main view or in the presets browser.
• The opacity of the tone map window can now be adjusted for amp simulation and built-in effects.
• Smoother presets switching.
• Improved smooth plug-in bypass (faster and smoother transition).

 Fixes:

• Fixed: built-in Late Replies sometimes cut delay tail when using plug-ins in the feedback loops.
• Fixed: output was mono when both A and B are off and I/O configuration is mono to stereo.
• Fixed: the state of some VST2 plug-ins (which do not save their state as chunks) were not be restored properly if their number of parameters had been changed (e.g. FabFilter Pro-Q's latest update).
• Mac: fixed GUI performance issues on native P3 displays and improved performance on other displays.
• Mac: fixed mouse wheel that required large movements to change parameter values.
• Mac: fixed mouse cursor flickering issues.
• Mac: fixed Esc key not closing fine edit parameter dialog.
• Mac Audio Unit: fixed plug-in listing in some host applications (Plogue Bidule...).

Enjoy!
