Gladiator v2.6 beta
« on: March 07, 2017, 12:34:38 PM »
Gladiator 2.6 is 100% downward compatible with the previous version. All existing song projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary. They will benefit from the enhanced sound quality.


- Drastically enhanced sound quality, especially if you run the plugin in 44khz
- More clean and detailed overall sound
- Enhanced sound of the filters: More linear frequency response for high cutoffs
- Enhanced sound of the effects section: Higher precesion interpolation
- Enhanced sound of the distortion: Added oversampling for more crisp sound
- Enhanced sound of the osciallors: Higher precesion interpolation
- Added a high-end resampling algorithm
- More linear frequency response, especially above 10 kHz
- More tight timing
- Enhanced stability
- More inituitive parameter names for automation
- More beautiful ligths for the buttons
- Fixed a possible pop sound on opening the plugin
- More robustness
- Less aggressive psychoacoustic processing
- Workaround for a host bug in Orion 8.6
- Several other minor fixes

----------

Please note:
This version is still in beta and may still contain bugs. If you experience problems please post a bug report here:

Hi Markus,
In automation some menus vice text labels sends numbers, this i see in modulation destinations, sources, quality and some others.
In filter type, lfo wave, osc mods, arp type automation have text labels.
Perphaps to correct others menus in automation for text transmission?

Hello Alex,

i will take a look at this. However the VST standart does only allow a maximum string lenght of 8 characters. Some older hosts can crash if you do too exotic stuff or use strings with long names.

Hi Markus,
you misunderstood me. i remember how badly work long names in vstplug's.
In all params normal short names, values in this params have some problems...
For example: arp type param have values - up, down, gate, split ...
In param mod dest values shows as positive numbers - 1, 2, ... 100, etc...

I compared two versions, old 2.2 and 2.6 demo, in new version many params not have names :)
In v2.2 have mod destinations names 1 to 12, in v2.6 only 1 to 6...

Mac Sierra, since installing 2.6 I cant seem to find the gladiatorskin.txt to change the gui.... even tried reinstalling electronic expansion via "Gladiator2exp1.t2k" but that doesn't bring back the file.

I have the same issue with Gladiator on Windows 10. Even re-installing and cleaning the registry won't change the skin color...

Strangely for me, Windows 10 worked fine. No deleting of files and I could change the colour as I wanted to.

I can confirm this:

gladiatorskin.txt is missing in the Mac installer. It has no effect unless you have an expansion which makes use of with a custom skin at the same time.

The synth (without expansion and custom skin) does also work properly without the file.

I'll fix the installer for the release version.

The PC version is not affected by this.

Thanks Markus, but I think it also does not include the midi config file.

Must have been something i did wrong, i am sure.
Tried to change the skin today and it worked, just like it should (Win 10, x64)
