Variety of Sound (VoS) has released Feenstaub TC. A tube compressor with Vari-MU leanings.With tape style saturation and harmonic colouration. For Windows only in VST3/2. D/load link is in this landing page. His plugins are must haves.https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/blog/

Thomann saying it's available till 28th Feb now

Happy to say all now correct. And work properly in CWbB.

UPDATE - I was correct. Been in contact with the developer and he had made an error with the GUID. And is to update tonight. So would suggest hold off a day or so. I'll advise.

Variety of Sound (VoS) has updated a number of his plugins (Windows only). ThrillseekerXTC, BaxterEQ, epicPlate MKII, Flavour MTC, Epic Clouds. The blog explains about better compatability on W10 with some DAWs (does not mention which). They all are now VST3, and a couple have had further enhancements. The link to the d/loads is on this page along with the info. https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/blog/ I have installed the VST3 versions on Cakewalk by Bandlab and have found that FlavourMTC as listed in the DAW .When inserted is in fact BaxterEQ. And Flavour MTC is not to be found at all. Not sure if developer error or CWB. All work fine in Soundforge PRO 13 as VST3.

All the best Wookiee. Speedy recovery!
