I uploaded the CompSat that we were talking about this week end.
It is available only for the mixers, because it will work only in the mixers (Valve and FP mixers).

The CompSat is to be loaded in mono channels (or in S-Filter-1 for stereo channels). A special feedback module is not needed when using mod a/b or c..
CompSat is a normal compressor that is also able to use Mod A/B/C inputs as sidechain signal source. So basically you can:
- route any signal to the Mod A/B/C to be used as sidechain source
- Use the same sidechain source on all channels if desired.
- modify the sidechain gain individually per channel
-In S-Filter 1, using the CC Receiver, you can also change the gain, or attack/release of the sidechain source. You can also modify the slope rate by choosing the Exponential or Logarithmic Curves instead of linear (linear is what you want for unmodified signal).
nb: you cannot reverse a signal, because it will be positive anyway when it goes to the compressor (so panned LFOs with CompSat is not possible - youwill have to wait until the GainSat is released....)
nb2: yes, in stereo channels, CompSat has to use Mod to CC signal that is then smoothed out by the ATt/Release parameters.... The faster signal transient, and the less precise it becomes, with a certain degree of unpredictability.... It can be great to simulate a vintage optical compressor, which basically have the same "defects" of being slow and less able with fast transients.... what is interesting, is that the unpredictability is not simulated but inherent to the method used. Good surprises may happen every now and then.
nb3: the Mod to CC IS able to deal with fast modulations. But it gets less precise with extremely fast modulations: adding a bit of attack/release, is what will slow down the signal. At the end, let your ears be the judge....
A LimitSat could be released too (is that useful?).
More info in the website. Download in the user area.

Added an update for CompSat (CompSat B) and the MB4 group/bus extension device in the user area.
Also, added a tutorial for MB4+FP104.
---> watch it
Additional tip:
The 4 aux can be used to compress differently 4 "groups". you do this by loading compressors in the aux inserts, and by sending the X and Bus channels to the group that you want.
Then you can add a compressor in the master section.
MB4 is a very powerful device and will radically change the way you mix in Scope (especially electronic music and special effects), by rising the user friendlineed and easiness to achieve what it is made for by 200% (if not 400%....at least).
Mb4 takes 2 dsps
so MB4+FP104/106 = 5.5 dsp when all is activated...

sat=satellites
CompSat= Compressor in a satellite format (one input for audio, the other for something else). but i guess it can drive too

Four BUSS equals heaven in my hardware mixer where many good old analog I/O effects units can be used.
Spring or Plate, Lexicon Vortex effects morphing, Oberheim EDP, and one dry BUSS.
Pads going through the Vortex are great. I have an effect on Prowave that is stunning. The Vortex starts w/ a chorus, morphs to a flange, then a heavier chorus w/ a 16 stage phaser that is timed to the filter sweeps or swells.
MB4 was the icing on the cake for my live mixes.
Naturally the bypass for all effects on the AUX inserts and channel inserts can go CC'd to one's taste. Awesome. Pedals handle depth and rates, ribbon for bi-directional portamento glides..........I am very excited as I was away from my racks for 5 days, it was killing me to see stuff released and not be able to touch it.
Leaving town is always a joy, especially when you come home the free SapceF mixers, and other SDK goodies in the device threads.

Released: FP 106 - C
===================
A great update for the FP Mixers, adding modulation and controlability.
- highly optimized and extended modulation capabilities and dsp management (A to H = 8 modulation inputs + 4 with reverse by default (A to D) = 12 selectable modulation sources).
- Independant modulation for mono channels "pre-filter" and insert slots (independant mod.source, mod.gain, f.offset)
- Superb and redesigned mod to CC: now converts any of the the 8 modulations and sends CC to mixer's surface parameters in addition to inserts (ie, pan, aux send gain, aux bleedover, volume, buttons and switches, etc...). Longer Lag time, 2 types of CC destination 1// "CC4" (1 source to 4 dest CC) -- 2// 4 independant sources to 4 destinations, each linkable to group 1 lagged output (ie, max = 5 sources and 8 dests, min = 1 source and 1 dest (or 0 if all "off"). Highly optimized (internal+dsp management+vu hide for ui management), - Solo state added i mute/main preset lists, midi program changes on main preset list....
Available now in FP Mixers area.

Thanks, Mehdi! This just keeps on getting better and better!
And really appreciated the Blackbox repack, as I had a copy of your modules in the stereo fx folder to use with RD, and I always had to confirm which module to load before opening a synth!
But what really made me happy was your announcement of the LBH4: seems to be really evolved with the step sequencers and the trigger Oscs. Looking forward to a new Little Big Harp!
keep it up, and once again, Thanks!
