I did sidechaining in nitro years ago. Basically you send two panned signals (sidechain and carrier?) route your sidechain to the envelope follower and then use the envelope follower to modulate a parameter on a operator that your carrier(?) signal is routed to.
Don't have it installed anymore so I can't give exact instructions but if you're familiar with nitro you should be able to work it out.

Having used the plugin religiously at one time I have a few suggestions.

More filters.

Improve the current filters - compare the moog filter in nitro to kontakts moog filter, to my ears it (kontakt's) is plenty more defined and sounds nicer.

More filters.

New GUI. The current GUI is ok I guess but it is too small (yes some plugins are too big but nitro is way too small) and it can be real (real!) fidly.

I like the routing options in Nitro, definitely one of it's strengths so I think these should be expanded on. More operators (if they are turned off they don't use CPU no?) and I think multi channel inputs and outputs would be nice (I guess this is a bit of a tricky one since no DAW that I have used would handle this correctly but I'm sure you could haxx the mixer in cubase to sum stereo/mono signals to surround and then spit them back up again. One thing to remember is that you can always route two mono signals in, would work for a ring mod).

More modulation sources - proper sidechain; one I mentioned is fiddly to setup, step sequencer/piano roll/arp, improved LFO's; syncing options, note on/off to reset LFO, to name a few.

More parameters per OP (sometimes 2 is not enough).

More distortion options (different curves, types?)

I could go on all day but it would get messy and I think we'd lose sight of what Nitro is; a filter plugin with bad ass modulation and routing (modular?) options with extra effects. Filters (+distortion/overdrive), modulation/automation and modular routing; imo the heart of nitro.


If reversed delay hasn't been explained I'm guessing he meant a delay similar to a reverse reverb?

++bit crusher/sample rate converter

Also more control over the LFO waveforms like clipping (independent for +/- aswell as linked), more shapes and lfo reset.
ADSR curve controls and modulation of stage time (long time since I used nitro so may already be possible)

Any news on version 2.0? I'm assuming this will support x64 as well as x86? Any ideas on what the upgrade price will be? Really looking forward to this.

It's all gone quiet at PSP about Nitro 2 it seems....?

Does seem to have. The information below was posted on 9 June 2010, some 6 months ago. Hopefully PSP will jump in with some further information(?).

I've lost all confidence in this company

Hopefully this will get your confidence back... I emailed them to see if they had any news and within hours got the following response:

Hope PSP don't mind me posting this publicly, but I was pretty excited by the news!

Groovy.

I won't hold my breath though - it's not sensible with plugin releases - I would have died already waiting for Altiverb 7, or BFD 64-bit for Mac!!

I hope there's a tasty upgrade price for those who've been using Nitro since way back, and waited literally YEARS for an update of any kind.



Thanks for the update, andrewk.

:-)

!! Good advice!
