CableGuys MidiShaper v1.6.2 WiN

What is MidiShaper?
MidiShaper brings Cableguys' awesome drawable LFOs to your favorite MIDI CC-controllable synthesizers and effects. Software or hardware, vintage or modern.
With 4 editable LFOs, 4 classic AHDSR envelopes, and a powerful modulation routing matrix, you can take full control of Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Aftertouch and up to 6 CCs of your choice.

Draw your own LFOs
Get custom movement using the same easy LFO drawing tools found in our acclaimed ShaperBox effect. Design curves, steps, ramps – any shape at all – in seconds, and output them as MIDI.

AHDSR envelopes
Fade each LFO in and out with its own AHDSR envelope that's triggered by MIDI notes.

Sync or free-running
MidiShaper's LFOs sync automatically to your DAW timeline, at any length from 32 bars down to a 128th note. Or let them run free, analogue-style, from 0.02Hz right up to 5.24kHz.

Lock LFOs to notes
Restart any LFO's phase with MIDI notes, for patterns that track each note you play.

Modulation matrix
Creating sophisticated patches is easy with the modulation matrix that routes the four modulation sources to Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, channel Aftertouch and up to 6 MIDI CCs of your choice.

Creative patterns
Inspiration is only clicks away with a categorised library of LFO waveforms designed by Cableguys.

MidiShaper's Pitchbend output does not work in Bitwig.
It works in all other DAWs that we've tested, and we've just contacted the Bitwig team to identify the cause of this issue.

Changelog

1.6.2 - February 17, 2025
- Fixed: A selection of points could reappear after being double-clicked to clear it, resulting in a crash if then dragged.
1.6.1 - February 4, 2025
- Improved: Up to 256 MIDI ports can now be addressed, whereas previously only the first 16 were selectable.
1.6 - December 9, 2024
- New: VST 3 and native Apple Silicon versions.
- New: Presets can be saved and loaded in FXP format via the Main Menu.
- Improved: Redesigned interface with usability improvements including AHDSR visualization, easier LFO setup and MIDI activity LEDs.
- Improved: Updated LFO editing with features and improvements from ShaperBox 3 and FilterShaper XL.
- Improved: Copy/paste of LFO waveforms now works globally across all instances of MidiShaper, ShaperBox 3 and FilterShaper XL.
- Improved: The Center values of MIDI modulation destinations that have no Source assigned are no longer sent when loading a project or FXP, preventing their CCs being set to unwanted values.
- Fixed: If a Source used a One-shot LFO and an Envelope, the Source failed to continue the envelope's modulation after the LFO finished playing.
Breaking changes
- Changed: Automation of LFO Wave, LFO Timing Mode and LFO Length is mapped differently. Projects loaded with v1.5.1 and earlier may need their automation editing to match.
- Changed: Banks of 16 presets via FXB are no longer supported.
- Changed: Wave points can no longer be automated, allowing more wave points per LFO (now 500 instead of 40), and a reduction in total number of automation parameters, for improved DAW compatibility and easier parameter browsing.
- Changed: Windows 32-bit no longer supported.
- Changed: macOS 10.13 or higher now required.
- Changed: EGs now sustain until all held MIDI notes are released.
- FL Studio: MidiShaper fails to load after upgrading from 1.5.1 to 1.6. To fix it, perform a Rescan in FL Studio's Plugins Manager, then reload the project.
- Cubase: MidiShaper 1.6 does not maintain settings saved using previous versions, instead reverting to default settings.
