Posted: 2 August 2017


Main change list:

  • Decoder generation bass handling has been improved, resulting in minor changes to a number of speaker decoders.
  • Managed bass channels are now included when choosing the listening volume for decoder optimisation.
  • Refinement to listening volume calculation to handle off-centre rigs better.

  • If an adequate number of managed bass speakers are present Rapture3D Advanced will now spatialise the bass band using a reconstruction decoder (Reconstruction and Tinted Reconstruction decoder methods only).

  • Improved decoder frequency balance in arrays with speakers at different distances.
  • Allow subwoofers to be given the "Inactive" role.

  • Upgrade macOS build to wxWidgets version 3.0.2.
  • Changes to GUI startup procedure in stand-alone programs to handle issue on macOS where a popup window on startup could result in the GUI becoming unresponsive.

  • Reduce memory use during decoder generation.
  • Rapture3D Advanced AES69 import now examines the polarity of the impulse data explicitly and changes it if it appears inverted.
  • Minor change to weighting of Amber HRTF.
