What's New In Radial 1.35
RadiaL 1.35 has replaced the original 2radiaLive VST plug-in with integrated live input functionality -- you can now configure any RadiaL loop channel to receive input from built-in audio or external input devices, record input, and process the input in ways already familiar to RadiaL users. Multiple input channels can be configured in this way and used together with RadiaL's intuitive sound shaping features to further provide a flexible and creative environment for the improvising live electronic musician.
ReWire support for OS X has also been added as of version 1.35, allowing for full ReWire integration with the other ReWire capable hosts on your computer. RadiaL 1.35 has also benefitted from a number of performance and stability related improvements.
