de-expander
Pure DExpander II comes from the de-expander section of Solera II. It uses the exclusive "Angel's Share" and "Hysteresis" algorithms developed by FLUX. Pure DExpander II enhances the low levels of sounds. The specialization information is magnified. Pure DExpander also makes your sound more compact. The "Angel's Share" algorithm allows heavy processing whilst maintaining an organic character.
New functions have been added to the original Pure DExpander. External side chain inputs are now available. New dynamic detection algorithms are available. The MS Width control manages stereo signals. A Hold parameter and a Threshold for Hysteresis, complement the settings. Classic modes and Feedback modes are now available for signal level detection, completing the legacy Solera mode. Various new profiles can be selected for detecting the dynamics of the signal. A Maximum mode can be engaged on the Hysteresis control, allowing processing that takes into account maximum values of both the standard and the Hysteresis detection schemes.
Our exclusive A / B morphing system, allows instant, efficient and global control of processing. The preset manager allows you to save global presets made up of two different presets including the A / B morphing slider position. Note also that factory presets are provided for every plug-in.

# All plug-ins
* - Morphing and toggle AB can give different settings
* - State of morphing automation button is now recoded in sessions, and can be automated.
* - Session reloading with lot of Flux:: plug-ins inserted loading time reduced and authorization check enhanced.
* - Authorization could randomly failed.
* - Some compatibility issues with Pyramix 6.1
* - Some session reloading problems in AudioUnit, that can lead to incorrect plug-in parameters
# All VST 2 Channels plug-ins
* - Side chain and processing buttons not well initialized
# Alchemist
* - Optimization about morphing slider, when morphing a lot of parameters.
* - Invert phase was not working correctly.
* - Compare function in Protools was broken
* - Some Automation bugs fix... Because of this fix, by default Alchemist will no more read correctly Automation data recorded with the previous version. To support old automation, you must set up the Automation old mode support. Please note that this mode is deprecated for new projects: you should disble it before creating new sessions.
o Windows: Go in the "Start" Menu → "All Programs->Flux:: sound and picture development" and click on "Enable Old Automation support". Click on "Disable old Automation support" to come back in the new mode (Recommended for new project).
o MacOS: Open a terminal (located in the Applications => Utilities folder) and set up the mode via the following command:
defaults write com.gaelyvan.flux.plugins HandleOldAutomation -bool YES
(validate by pressing "return" keyboard button).
To Delete this preference, set the following command:
defaults write com.gaelyvan.flux.plugins HandleOldAutomation -bool NO.
(validate by pressing "return" keyboard button).
# Solera
* - Side Chain EQ initialization problem, at 48kHz sampling rate, for band #1
* - MS Width not working
# Epure II VST
* - Possible bad render in WaveLab
# Epure II
* - Possible crash in very high sampling rate
# Epure II Venue
* - Recall of the preset A and B slot and the Morphing slider position have been temporally removed from the session and Snapshot recall. This because of an issue with current DShow software that does not really support big custom chunk in snapshot. We will try to re-implement this as soon as possible.
# Stereo Tool PC
* - Installer not support Windows XP 64
# Security PC
* - crash sometimes when shutting down or restarting windows
* - iLok support not working on Vista 64 SP1
* - Flux Security Engine hang on some Vista 64 Home Premium SP1 system
* - New iLok support management. Now the Flux:: security engine will not try to load the iLok support if iLok drivers are not installed or if the installed version is too old. This allow to be able to use the Flux:: vst plug-ins without installing iLok (if you are using the Flux:: dongle). The Security Manager will display messages regarding your current iLok installation.
