lkjb releases TinyQ to v1.5 free (open beta)

lkjb has released TinyQ version 1.5 free open beta, and moved from the JUCE framework to IPlug-Youlean.

Version 1.5 now uses IPlug-Youlean and thus don’t have the JUCE Personal License splash screen or the usage analytics any more. Please be aware of the following knwon issues:

- VST3 seems to not show the user interface after a resize on macOS Mojave.

- While the VST2 version 1.5 is compatible with the previous (JUCE) version of the plugin the VST3 and AU plugin isn’t. While the VST3 plugin simply isn’t compatible, the AU plugin will load blank projects that used JUCE versions of the plugin. For that reason, use the JUCE version when working with old projects.

TinyQ is – as the name suggests – a rather tiny EQ. There are lots of good large EQs around but nothing versatile if simply a few adjustments are needed.
