Hello,
Last sunday a major update to RetroBand was released and it was finally made available as OSX VST. Things did not quite go as planned as too many users soon noticed, and there were major problems. Fortunately all of those were easy to track thanks to crash reports and such. All the reported problems, bugs, crashes and glitches are now fixed. Apologies for having ever released such an ill-fated update.

Version 1.5.1, 21-dec-2006
------------------------
1. Fixed dependency on zlib1.dll and the file is no longer needed.
2. Fixed complete muting of sound or crashing in certain hosts when switching presets or opening the editor window.
3. Adjusted individual band 'Emp' parameter range and knob behaviour.
4. Removed sound bursts when switching presets.
5. Shortcut to HTML manual now works if user keeps installed directory structure intact.
6. Mouse no longer "clamps" when tweaking knobs.
Version 1.5, 16-dec-2006
------------------------
Milestone update.
1. Mac OSX Tiger Universal Binary versions now available.
2. Windows version is no longer tied to SSE enabled CPUs and will work on even older models.
3. CPU and RAM usage excessively optimised, in some cases more than halved.
4. All processing is now internally 64-bit -> improved sound quality.
5. New 'residual' noise mode. (does not apply to Lite version).
6. Alternative Drive mode.
7. Main output volume attenuator.
8. Safety 100Hz Hi-pass filter.
9. Various tweaks and optimisations of the DSP engine.
10. Preset maintenance removed.
11. Plugin initialisation is significantly faster.
12. Installer for better deployment, detects CPU and enables right optimisations for it.
Kind Regards and Merry X-Mas,
Michael Kingston
