Availability and Features of the new versions

Excellent optimizations have been included in the new versions of the software, which are already ProTools|HD Accel-compatible. Registered users will be able to download the update on 22 September 2003. Demo versions are now available in the "Download" section of our website.

Apart from including compatibility with the new hardware, excellent optimizations have been achieved with this new software revision, which sets all plug-ins to version 3.1 (except SynthSpider, to 2.1). You can expect to see many more instances per chip of your DUY plug-ins, and the support of 192K for DSPider and ReDSPider, which was not previously available: DUY's DSPider and ReDSPider plug-ins can now be used at 192 KHz on Digidesign’s new HD|Accel cards. Users of previous HD hardware versions can continue to use the software at sample rates up to 96 KHz. We have also carried out a complete revision of the code of DUY DaD Valve and DUY DaD Tape, included in DUY's Global Bundle and Analog Bundle. This has allowed us to achieve a greater number of instances on HD|Accel systems, while leaving the original algorithm untouched, preserving the addition of warmth to the sound that DUY is so well-known for. Many Mix and HD users will also take advantage of this new optimization. DUY's Shape TDM plug-in, included in Global Bundle, can now be used by any ProTools|HD user at 192 KHz in stereo, and the number of instances for Accel users is greatly improved at all sample rates. The improvement is also considerable for users of older HD hardware.

Taking advantage of the new hardware processing capabilities of Digidesign's ProTools|HD Accel cards, DUY SynthSpider users will now count with an extra version of SynthSpider: DUY PolySpider. This version, also free for registered users, is a 6-voice polyphonic version of SynthSpider, allowing users to have six voices with just one instance instead of having to create separate instances for each voice. This version of SynthSpider can be used at 44.1 KHz and 48 KHz. PolySpider is free for registered users and is included in the package for new customers. DUY PolySpider can be inserted when Digidesign HD|Accel hardware is present.
