Blue Cat Audio Releases AcouFiend 1.2 Feedback Simulation Plug-In & Re-Guitar 1.4 Guitar Pickups and Body Replacement Plug-In
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Paris, France 2026/05/05: Blue Cat Audio ( http://www.bluecataudio.com ) has released free updates for two unique guitar plug-ins: Blue cat's AcouFiend and Re-Guitar.
AcouFiend is an acoustic feedback simulation plug-in that can make electric guitars scream, growl, or sing - even at low volume or through headphones - by generating harmonics on sustained notes. Re-Guitar is a guitar tone modeling plug-in that can emulate a wide range of guitar tones from a single instrument by virtually replacing its pickups or body.
The new version of AcouFiend delivers significant signal processing performance improvements and adds a new feature to transpose feedback harmonics across a selected note range. The free update also introduces new MIDI capabilities for both plug-ins, along with additional enhancements and fixes (full list below).
The free updates can be downloaded from the same location as the original full version (link provided by email upon purchase). To mark this occasion, Blue Cat Audio is offering a special introductory offer until May 31st. Demo versions are available at www.bluecataudio.com in most plug-in formats for macOS and Windows.
New in AcouFiend 1.2:
- Select the source note range where transposition applies to get different effects depending on the notes played (Fine tune not impacted).
- DSP performance improvements (up to 50% faster).
- GUI performance improvements.
New in both plug-ins:
- Windows: multitouch support (manipulate multiple controls at the same time with several fingers).
- All plug-in parameters can now be controlled with MIDI notes, pitch bend, NRPN, 14-bit CCs, aftertouch or channel pressure, in addition to existing MIDI CC.
- MIDI settings window can now be resized to display more parameters.
- Optimized MIDI settings window display on Windows (load time and scroll).
- Fixed plug-in sending Bank number 0 when loading a preset that is not located in a bank.
- Fixed audio dropouts when navigating presets via next/previous and plug-in set to send MIDI Program Change messages.
- Fixed revert current preset not always triggering undo properly.
- Fixed window opacity changes not shown in plug-in when host application modifies it.
- Fixed selected text in text edit box sometimes not easy to read on Mac depending on the color scheme.
