Finally, after a very programming-intense autumn, crowned by a month’s journey through dll-hell and back, the convolver is ready to be properly tested by you guys.
It is really fast. It is capable of millions of Hz if you run one or two channels with normal latency, and I fully expect it to be capable of adding zero latency on multichannel playback even with relatively small buffers (512, 1024) on most machines.
I hope it turns out to be is as robust & stable as I think it is. And I hope that you will like the GUI, but I also look forward to getting ideas of how to make it even better.
I don’t know what to expect in terms of problems now that I put it out there. I have had it working on my development machine for months, and now it seems to work reasonably well on two other machines here – as well as on screens with large fonts and virtual pixel count that are not the same as the real screen size and so forth. It works with 2 Lynx soundcards, one Asus USB sound card and three embedded sound cards via Asio4All. I haven’t had the time or opportunity to fully test that the mixing and routing is 100% correct on advanced setups. A lot of what can go wrong there is depending on tested and tried code, but this is anyway one of the things to look out for.
I believe a lot of the functions in the convolver GUI are self-explanatory, but I have nevertheless prepared a simple PDF help file.
There is only one convolver beta installation file. It is designed to work for x86 and x64 machines. I haven’t tested the install on x86 machines, time will show. It installs with a license key that lasts through May 2020. That should give us time to find and fix a few flaws and even enjoy it too. There will be a price tag on the convolver down the road, but there will be a discount for existing customers.
You need to create filters with the version of Audiolense 6.0 that was released just now. And you need to save the correction in the new audiolense convolver/correction format. You choose that from the setup menu.
The convolver does not support bypass. I’m concerned about blowing tweeters. So you need to create filters to get the audio through.
For stand-alone use:
1. Install Audiolense 6.0 and convolver.
2. Create new filters in Audiolense 6.0 on the new audiolense convolver format.
3. Start the convolver (as standalone)
4. Wait for the convolver to calibrate to you PC.
5. Choose sound card.
6. Load correction filter.
7. Enter the appropriate number of input channels (most likely 2);
8. Say five Ave Maria’s and press play.
For JRiver users:
1. Do the above first. It is not really necessary to run the stand-alone first, but it is the safer route. If it works….
2. Uncheck the convolver in jriver’s dsp studio.
3. Choose Audiolense (asio) as sound card in jriver.
4. Press play.
Happy holidays, folks ! (and don’t let the convolver beta ruin it)
