HOLOPHONIX Designer : Free to Get, Ready to Give

As an offline editor software, HOLOPHONIX Designer is similar to HOLOPHONIX Native in all respects, but does not include an audio engine. Thanks to HOLOPHONIX Designer, you can prepare your projects and presets for any setup from any computer.

 

HOLOPHONIX Designer gives you the ability to emulate a HOLOPHONIX processor or the HOLOPHONIX Native App, allowing you to prepare your project before performing in a large venue.

 

The Designer application is available as a free download.

Available for Windows and macOS Platforms

Available for both Windows and macOS platforms, HOLOPHONIX Designer is an offline editor that integrates all of the graphical capabilities available in the HOLOPHONIX processors and Native App.

  • 3D-immersive algorithmic reverberation

  • Object-based simulation and independant control on direct sound, early reflections and late reverberation parameter

  • Automatic level option based on source positioning and distance
    Model based on perceptive studies of distance

Processing Options

  • Trim (-80, +30dB) and Level (-60, +12dB) adjustments for sources, buses and master

  • Adjustable delay (0 to >5000 ms) on sources and buses

  • Equalizer and dynamic processing options on each source, bus, reverberation, with eight fully adjustable bands: 4 × Parametric filters (2d order), HPF and LPF filters (Butterworth type), High Shelf and Low Shelf filters available

  • Equalizer available on each audio output (loudspeaker)

  • Loudspeaker gain and delay adjustment on each spatialization bus, individually (with automatic computation mode based on loudspeaker positioning)

Loudspeaker Layout
  • Free loudspeaker positioning to fit any custom loudspeaker layout
  • Outputs can also be configured to standard output formats (for example, to record an automatic downmix of the performance) :
  • Channel-based setup :
    any ITU standard (e.g. 5.1, 7.1, 22.2, etc.), stereo panning, AB/XY microphone simulation for more realistic results, or binaural
  • Scene-based setup :
    higher order Ambisonics from 1st order (B-Format) to very high resolution 7th order, compatible with many decoding software and VR applications such as YouTubeTM VR and FacebookTM 360
Subwoofers Management
LFE channel with adjustable HPF filter (2nd order IIR filter, 12 db/oct) or user-defined subwoofer bus, using any available algorithm
