Many Filter Forge components haven't been updated since version 1.0. Filter Forge 6.0 updates over 30 existing components by converting their checkbox inputs into mappable checkboxes, a newly introduced input type. This gives filter authors more flexibility by allowing parameter mapping, the foundational principle of Filter Forge, to be applied to component parameters defined by checkboxes, as shown in the example below.
In addition to greater flexibility in filter design, this change makes the updated components more compatible with slave components introduced in Filter Forge 5.0 – now you can plug the output of slave components into the "newly-greenified" checkbox inputs!
