[pluggo] ANNOUNCE: Major Malfunction v2.0

Please pardon the brief self-promotion:

Major Malfunction, my Mac OS X Pluggo-based 
slice/dicer/mangler/glitcher/FSU plugin specifically tailored for 
Ableton Live, is now updated to version 2.0.

It has two primary new features:

1) Multiple effects may be activated per step - this is called "Multi 
Mode."  In multi mode, users get to decide whether audio is to flow 
in parallel through the selected effects, or serially.  If serially, 
users can rearrange the order of the effects (graphically) in any way 
they desire.  (Roman, I figured out a reasonable way to do the UI for 
this!)

Although it did not make it to the finished product, at one point in 
development I had a really cool "draggable" approach to moving the 
effects around, but it was too glitchy to release publicly.  Instead 
I ended up using the left/right arrows that you see in the released 
version.

2) Significantly lower CPU consumption - behind the scenes, all the 
effects are now poly~'d, and are turned on only when active.  In 
previous versions, all effects were consuming CPU at all times, even 
if they were being used or not on a particular step.

version available.

And many thanks to all those who have helped me along the way, and/or 
provided their externals! (Peter Elsea and Jasch).

Thanks,
Dan
