Fircomp 2 has been updated to the Apr 14th version (2.0.4), with native M1 ver, and GR meter range per-instance. Mar 9 version will still be kept available. You can use your original DL link to get it, but contact me if you would like your link re-sent :)

Fircomp 2.1 will be coming soon, with a new "VCA" topology mode, and support for sample rates up to 384 kHz.
