Experimental Components Included
These components are currently considered unstable and might be removed in the future release.
YSR
YSR is a experimental 3D HDR sound engine suited for headphones. Choose YSR in "Audio" group of the startup window's setup tab, put your headphones on, and have a fun.
SSE3 enhanced CPU is required. Latest dual-core CPU is recommended.
YSRSpades.dll includes the HRTF measurement data of a KEMAR dummy-head microphone.
Software Renderer
An experimental non-Voxlap software renderer is included in this build. We have good news and bad news: the bad one is that it runs 4x slower than Voxlap. The good one is that it makes good use of modern multi-core processors. It also features "fast mode".
