Hello everyone

I just released VAC-6V the new version of the rack extension VAC-6 as a VST plugin. It is free and like the A/B switch port it is also entirely open source so you can check the code and even modify it if you wish.

Compared to the rack extension this is what this new version features:
* brand new design
* in addition to zoom, the main LCD screen can be paused and scrolled (like CVA-7)
* the 3 numeric windows concept has been simplified
* clicking on the graph with the mouse allows to precisely select which point you want to analyze
* the left and right channels can be analyzed separately
* supports HiDPI (4k) monitors
* runs in any DAW with VST 2 or 3 support
* open source

You can download the new plugin by heading to the product page https://pongasoft.com/vst/VAC-6V.html

This project turned out to be a big endeavor as I was learning VST development. I would definitely appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
Yan

I tried to download that version but is a VST3 version. Not working on Reason as I knew before.

I found no versions working on Reason (Cause Reason actually supports VST 2.4) :?:
