McDSP SHIPS FUTZVERB AND MACHINE BASED LICENSING

McDSP is pleased to announce the release of the new FutzVerb AAX/AU/VST3 plug-in for both Mac and Windows. FutzVerb builds on the legendary, incredibly popular and downright amazing FutzBox plug-in by combining the power of McDSP SIMs (Synthetic Impulse Models), filters, and saturation with a compact yet powerful reverb engine. FutzVerb includes 22 reverb types, 12 reflection types, and additional control over reverb pre-delay (dry or wet signal), early reflections, stereo field adjustment, modulation, damping, tone coloration, and sub octave generation. FutzVerb SIMs can be placed before, after, or inside the reverb algorithm for even more sonic variations. FutzVerb combines two of the most common audio effects used since the invention of the DAW - distortion and reverb. What's not to like?

In addition to the release of FutzVerb, now all McDSP v7 plug-ins support machine based licensing. McDSP users can choose between iLok, iLok Cloud, and machine based licensing options, for both perpetual licenses and subscriptions. McDSP v7 plug-ins will continue to have two activations per license.

FutzVerb Feature List:

• Library of Synthetic Impulse Models (SIMs) that can be placed before, after, or inside the reverb algorithm
• Configurable ‘futz’ effects including filtering, EQ, distortion, down sampling and bit reduction
• Sub octave generator for 1x and 2x pitched down sounds
• Reverb gating and ducking
• Double precision processing and zero latency operation

FutzBox is included in the McDSP All Access Subscription, is also available as a perpetual license, and is included in the latest McDSP Everything Pack Bundle. All Access Subscribers simply need to download the installer from the URL below. A 14-day free trial of FutzVerb is also available. McDSP v7 plug-in versions 7.3.0 or later are required to operate machine based licenses. More information can be found at www.mcdsp.com.
