What's new in RayBlaster 3.5 ?


Enhanced sound quality:

  • Significantly enhanced sound quality when 44 kHz or 22 kHz is used as the DAW's samplerate. Reduced aliasing up to 12 dB.
  • Drastically enhanced sound quality when 88 kHz or 176 kHz is used as the DAW's samplerate. Reduced aliasing up to 20 dB.
  • The enhanced FFT precision results in more accurate resampling of waveforms.
  • More precise interpolation of the oscillator impulses.
  • Enhanced sound of 'Reverb Ultra'. It has stereo input, a smoother rolloff, more detail and more depth.
  • Enhanced sound of 'Reverb Big'. It has has stereo input, a smoother rolloff, more detail and more depth.
  • Enhanced sound of 'Reverb Infinite'. It has stereo input, a smoother rolloff, more detail and more depth.
  • Enhanced sound of 'Reverb Trance'. It has stereo input, a smoother rolloff, more detail and more depth.
  • Enhanced sound of 'Reverb Band'. It has a smoother rolloff, less phasing, more detail and more depth.
  • Enhanced sound of 'Reverb Glass'. It has a smoother rolloff, less phasing, more detail and more depth.
  • Reduced detuning in 'Delay Dual' effect.
  • Reduced detuning in 'PingPong' effect.
  • Slightly reduced detuning in 'MultiTap Delay' effect.
  • Slightly reduced detuning in 'Delay' effect.
  • Slightly reduced detuning in 'Delay Band' effect.
  • Slightly reduced detuning in 'Delay Diffuse' effect.
  • The equalizer uses 64bit processing for coefficient calculations.
  • The upper midrange is less sharp in the EQ modes 'Psychoacoustic+', 'High Boost' and 'Psychoacoustic'.
  • Enhanced sound of the per-voice distortion.


Better factory content:

  • The complete factory content has been reworked.
  • 50 new sounds have been added.
  • Lots of existing sounds were enhanced and fine-tuned.
  • All sounds are now properly sorted into the right categories.
  • Mediocre sounds have been kicked to provide only top-quality content. You can download them optionally from the website.


New features:

  • It is more easy to see soundsets in the patch browser. They have blue color.
  • Tutorial patches have grey color in the patch browser.
  • The patch browser can show a scrollbar for the categories.
  • There is an additional equalizer in the Setup section. 'EQ: Soft Midrange' damps frequencies around 3.5 kHz with -6dB.


Enhanced graphics:

  • Much faster animations of the waveforms, the VUs and the effect parameters.
  • More precise layout of the small knobs and various GUI elements.


Further enhancements:

  • Better default settings for the init patch.
  • Better default parameters for various effects.
  • Enhanced stability.
  • The installer is smarter and VST3 is installed with the default setting.
  • Included a workaround for crappy DAWs that return garbage values for the BPM-rate or song-position.
  • Many small enhancements.


Fixes:

  • Fixed an unlikely crash that could happen when the Windows function of the oscillator is automated.


Downward compatibility:

  • RayBlaster 3.5 is downward compatible with all previous versions. Existing song projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary. They will benefit from the enhanced sound-quality.
  • The factory content has been reworked and many sounds have been moved to other categories. To avoid duplicates we recommend to uninstall your previous RayBlaster version before you install v3.5.

Icarus / Re: Sonar Cakewalk and Icarus ...
Last post by Markus Krause - April 27, 2026, 10:32:10 AM
Hello Carlo,

Icarus2 has been released 7 years ago and is deprecated. I recommend to upgrade it as there has been a massive number of enhancements and new features. The current version is v3.2.
https://www.tone2.com/icarus-update.html

I assume that you have accidently enabled 'aggressive mouse focus'. To disable it, find the "Icarus_data" directory and delete the file "IcarusMouse.cfg".

Best Regards

Any Help?

Thank you

Gladiator / [solved] Gladiator3_data
Last post by Dumtek - April 23, 2026, 02:42:09 PM
In the file folder "Gladiator3_data"  I am noticing a lot more files thant show up, in what i believe to be files for the sample noise section, seeing that they have the same names.  However there are many more there like "bubbles, rainforest, shotgun, etc." that do not show up in that area yet have the .gls file name.  I did get them to work if i changed the number like to 001 for the set and the gls file that goes with them.

Would love to have the shotgun sound... :-\

One thought i had was due to overall file size and the ones that won't show up got shit canned to make space for  updates and improvements or something. But what do i know. 

That or my old ass computer is fagging out or something.   :D

Kind Regards, PDT

UPDATE - I think I figured it out.  One has to purchase the expansions to unlock said sounds i take it.
Seems like" State of Art"  is the one i am after then.

Electra 3 / Re: Typo in a tooltip
Last post by Examigan - April 23, 2026, 01:21:05 PM
Quote from: Markus Krause on April 23, 2026, 08:07:52 AMThere is indeed a typo in the tooltip. It is just cosmetical and has no effect on the functionality.
I'll fix this in the upcoming update. The update will be free.

Thanks Markus!

Electra 3 / Typo in a tooltip
Last post by Examigan - April 23, 2026, 12:43:57 AM
I just noticed in the latest version (maybe it's been there for a long time?) if you hover the mouse over the 2nd FM knob in the Osc section it shows "OSC34 FM" instead of OSC23 FM.  It also shows it that way in the display at the top left.
