There are problems that cause the plugin to crash on some computers, looking into it.

Is this version only available for beta testers on iOS right now?  I'm a Windows VST3 user so I'm looking for the download for the latest version. 

have you installed the latest version (with "universal") in the name?

Hi Paul,

Just installed new versions on macOS.

Both 2.0.97 plug-in formats for macOS crash Reaper whenever instantiated.

AUv2 works in Ableton Live 12 but VST3 version emits a dangerously loud burst of noise when the plug-in loads.

NAM A2 mode will be added in the next update, for now only A1 is supported.
The user PD Space Guitar folder in Documents (win/mac) or root (ios) has a NAM subfolder, that
is where you can update your NAM files. Only 1 subfolder is allowed, to keep the popups clean.
Example:
> NAM
   > myFavamp
        favamp_driven_withCab.nam
        favamp_clkan_noCab.nam
   > myLessFavAmp
        myLessFavAmp_driven_withCab.nam
        myLessFavAmp_fuzzed_noCab.nam
This folder rule works for  REVERB, CABINET & NAM folders.
note: On IOS you need to run the standalone once after every update to NAM and IR files, to transport the files to the plugin. Presets are not transported

with the new Keys added there now are quiet a few layers to the SG signal
-normal Guitar
-Shaper Guitar original (available when HX is off, or HX is on with ORIG on)
-Shaper HX saw/square/bright
-Shaper Keys Piano/Epiano/Dx10/Strings
The Keys are normally mixed with the Shaper signal, unless you set the DIRECT mode in the Instrument itself.
In SETUP tab you can alter the setup of the signal chain:
For NAM amped guitar using QUATRO will result in a clean stereo Shaper and Key sound, where the Keys and Shaper will "fight" for focus in the AMP. Choosing less GAIN in the amp will lessen this mutual ducking, as well as chosing an apprppriate volume for the Keys.
This mutual auto-ducking is essential for easy playing with different layers of sound.
If you want the Keys dynamics untouched, the DIRECT option in the Keys instrument will reroute the Keys sound and insert the Keys just before the REVERB.

2.0.97 Features the new Keys sounds within PD Space Guitar, offering a triggered layer of instruments within the Shaper.
Piano, Epiano and DX10 are based upon the open source MDA versions.
Strings MK1 is a physical string model with hammering and bowing.
The Keys are a submode of HX SAW,SQUARE,BRIGHT modes. The Keys sound is mixed with the HX sound.
-KEYS sets the volume of the keys
-The HX sound can be muted by setting MIN,MAX to 0.
-The original non-HX shaper sound can be added with the ORIG switch
-the keyboard icon opens the instrument parameters.

Hi Ed,
RThanks for the feedback!
There are several things that allow simular outcomes allready:
- in REMOTE tab you can assign the HOLD for the SHAPER to a MIDI CC. You only want the sound at the time of press, so you turn RETRIGGER to the right, adjust GRABTIME to prevent noise coming in the hold signal.
- in REMOTE tab you can assign a MIDI pedal to DELAY SEND. Set the DELAY to the number of repeats and turn the FEEDBACK to 0.
- The LFO can automate most of above type functions (instead of MIDI CC, the LFO is chosen for control input)

I'm aware that it all isnt exactly what you most likely are looking for: there is a ceiling to the amount of functions I can add in SG as it is.
The coming BETA will have lots of extra stuff soundwise, I'll have a nights sleep about your idea.

I'm loving PD guitar and had an idea for the suggestion box:

A freeze sequencer that would hold the played note/chord for a period of time allowing the user to solo over the top of it. Perhaps something like a grid where you click to add a boxes in a sequencer timeline and drag the end of them to the desired freeze duration, so the user could create custom timed freezes either to synced tempo or set BPM.

Just an idea!
