 <h2>Diffusion, low-pass, XY, modulation</h2><p>A new beta version of the spirals plugin is now available to download.<br>Give it a try and let me know what you think!</p><p>This plugin has been in beta for a long time because I always felt like I could do better both in terms of sound and controls.</p><p>A lot has changed since the last version, new features include:</p>
 <ul>
  <li>a Diffusion control to enable more &quot;smeared&quot;, reverb-like sounds</li>
  <li>a resonant low-pass filter</li>
  <li>an XY pad to control filter frequency and resonance</li>
  <li>modulation for the reverb tails</li>
 </ul>
 <b>This is still a beta release so there are a few things to keep in mind:</b>
 <ul>
  <li>It is not compatible with any past (or future) versions. If you have used it for any sounds you want to keep, it is best to render those before updating.</li>
  <li>It may have bugs and unexpected behavior. Please report these so I can fix them. here is how</li>
  <li>Feedback, comments and feature requests are welcome</li>
  <li>Features may be added or removed before the final release so I would not recommend depending on it in important projects.</li>
 </ul>
