Icarus 2.0.5 PC (free update)

The update to v2.0.5 is available for free. It adds a VST3 version and some enhancements.
Icarus 2.0.5 is downward compatible with all previous versions. All existing song projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary.

New features:

- Added a VST3 version.
- You can select from 3 different installation types: Minimal (VST2 only), Default (VST2 + Standalone) and Full (VST2 + VST3 + Standalone).

Enhancements:

- More smart detection of VST2 path.
- Faster closing of projects.
- Minor enhancements for the standalone version.

Changes:

- Microsoft dropped support for 32bit operating systems. That's why we will focus on 64bit only. If you still use 32bit you can install v2.0.

Notes:

Steinberg advertises that their VST3 format should have 'many essential new features' and 'advantages' compared to competing plugin-formats.
In practise, we do not think that this is true for synthesizers, especially since VST3 does not offer proper MIDI support.

I have a problem with the automation in Studio One 5.4.1 (Win10) in the VST3 version. Normally when I click on a knob the automation parameter is selected in the upper left corner of Studio One. I can then drag it onto the track or event clip. This works fine in the VST2 version but in the VST3 it doesn´t show anything (other VST3 instruments work as intended). The manual selection of a parameter works however but it´s tedious to work that way with so many parameters.

It was very difficult to fix it. Apart from this I noticed that recording the automation with VST3 does also not work. It took 5 work-days to fix it. But in the end I was able to solve the isse. The next update will contain the fix.

Have a nice weekend,
Markus
