There's a fresh update of the PTC-2A from OvertoneDSP. Available for Linux, Windows, Mac.
Quoted from Mike at OvertoneDSP:
https://www.overtonedsp.co.uk/download/download_ptc_2a/
Available as 64Bit VST (for Ubuntu 12.10 or later). 32Bit versions are no longer available unfortunately, however 32Bit (x86) hardware is extremely rare now too, and the effort to maintain a 32Bit eco-system for test / development was no longer justifiable.
This release sees some significant updates and general rationalisation of our 'framework' (ironically, probably the biggest feature upgrade, but also the least noticeable, if everything works as intended).
Other tweaks include more flexible / consistent UI sizing across different plug-in formats, greater use of the 'chunk' API to handle presets, which should bring benefits in some hosts.
New control modes - controls now follow 'Circular', 'Relative' or 'Linear' modes, selectable in the host (the default is Circular, in which the control responds to mouse movement in a circle / arc. however, considerable effort has been invested in avoiding the jumpy or erratic behaviour which is so often a characteristic of these modes. The result is smooth predictable and intuitive control operation. Control modes can be summarised as follows:
1. Circular (default) - the control locates to the mouse pointer angular position on first click, drag in a circle or arc to turn the control clockwise or anticlockwise.
2. Relative Circular - drag in a circle or arc to move the control relative to its previous position.
3. Linear - control responds to vertical mouse movement.
In all modes, a double click in the centre of the control will return it to its default position.
This is a free upgrade for any existing users - Anyone who hasn't tried it yet, I humbly request that you do. The vintage Pultec units which inspired this plug-in have long been revered as the 'secret ingredient' in many classic recordings. With the PTC-2A you can turn your 'in the box' mix into a high-end studio recording
