While the release of Independence Pro delays for a few weeks to January 2008, Independence Basic, Freedom v2.0 and Origami v2.0 are shipping.
Independence Basic comes with the same audio engine as Independence 2 and is fully compatible with Independence Free and Independence 2. Apart from the ability to load 3rd party VST effects and VST instruments - which is not enabled in Independence Basic - the user has access to the same software features as Independence 2.
Freedom 2.0
All insert filters and effects of Freedom 2.0 are fully surround compatible up to 8.1. The format of surround files is recognized automatically and Freedom 2 assigns the respective channels accordingly. Freedom 2 offers a new FX Bank Browser, and automation features include minimum and maximum values (use the full range of a selected controller only for a specified value of the parameter). With the new Mix Down feature you can route any channel of your surround format to "L" (left) and "R" (right) and thus create a mix down of your surround format to stereo.
Origami 2.0
Origami 2.0, using real-time impulse response processing, gives immediate access to many IR models and variations (like churches, cathedrals, stages, rooms, halls, etc.) from "Inspired Acoustics", many surround IR files and an audio import option. Origami offers three independent snapshot slots and a comfortable FX bank browser. You can add an unlimited number of insert effects to each slot and easily change their order per drag'n'drop. Origami comes with an innovative host and MIDI automation including the additional parameters Invert, Bypass, Host Learn and MIDI Learn.
