Hey Patrons!
Alpha 010 takes things deeper. In previous versions, you could enhance upper harmonics—now, you can blend in a new fundamental one octave down. Perfect for recovering overly high-passed material or sculpting your low-end just the way you like it.
What’s new in Alpha 010?
🔹 Fundamental – Bring back what’s missing! This control lets you blend in a “copy” of your audio an octave down. Whether you’re restoring lost low-end from excessive high-pass filtering or just beefing up your sound, this gives you more control than before.
🔹 Loudness Match – Now featuring the same loudness compensation algorithm found in Fräs! It continuously measures short-term loudness and automatically adjusts perceived volume for a more consistent listening experience.
🔹 Bug fixes & tweaks – Various minor bug fixes and tweaks

What is Shape2 Advanced?
Shape2 Advanced is an extreme low-end shaper/compressor that gives you 100% control of the lowest part of the spectrum. It’s based around a waveshaper that reshapes your low-end to use all available headroom without causing issues, maximizing your bass without affecting the upper frequencies.
The first stage in Shape2 Advanced mirrors the Shape2 module in SubBB, running the low-end through a waveshaper for a compressed effect. Next, an algorithm removes any distortion created. Up to this point, it’s similar to SubBB. But Shape2 Advanced takes it further: you can reintroduce some of the original envelope to the processed signal with the Envelope controls, set the allowed max peaks with the “Low Peaks” control, add a burst of sub noise at he transients for a greater impact, and blend in a synthesized first harmonic to the signal.
Complete walkthrough:
If you’re new to the plugin, you may need this complete walkthrough using Alpha 005. It lacks the bits and pieces added in Alpha 010 but overall it works the same: https://youtu.be/EUjTphHMz2E?si=WeAhyzlBMqtFdE4W
I’m still holding back with AU builds, there’s just VST3 for now.
