Aspect v 1.7.10
Mar 1, 2012
Windows
Fixed in 1.7.10 are the following issues:
Fixed issue which made audio rate modulation of either oscillator's pitch by the noise modulation source slightly quantized. This caused previously created presets using this configuration to sound slightly different in Aspect 1.7.9.
Fixed bug which occasionally caused newly saved user presets to still be marked with the changed (*) flag in the preset name display.
Aspect v 1.7.9
Feb 16, 2012
Windows
Improvements in this release include:
(Windows) Fixed incredibly rare crash which may occur when first opening the plug-in on certain 32-bit VST Windows hosts.
Massively improved speed and responsiveness of all UI controls.
Improved CPU usage when tweaking parameters from a hardware controller.
(Windows) For the Windows VST plug-in, when using a relative path of "." for the presets folder, the path is now relative to the plug-in's DLL file and not the host's executable file. This makes it possible to easily create a portable or USB stick install of Aspect.
Standalone versions now support multiple simultaneous hardware controllers.
(Linux) User presets are now displayed in alphabetical order in the preset browser.
(Linux) Improved UI font selection means that a more appropriate font is often used in any Linux distributions which provide only a small selection of default fonts.
Fixed an issue where the OK button in the save preset browser would temporarily become disabled when switching from the Factory presets selection.
Various minor compatibility fixes for certain hosts.
Various minor user interface tweaks

Preset searches are now multi-threaded. Preset browser can now immediately respond to user interaction, even whilst searching a massive preset library, or when browsing a folder containing a large number of presets.
Preset meta data (ie, author name, notes, tags) is now correctly displayed after loading an .FXP based preset or restoring a saved project.
Vastly improved CPU usage when recalculating DSP graph as a result of realtime re-wiring of a modular preset.
