Another release building upon the new CI pipeline for faster development, with a focus on VST's and general performance/bugfixes. VST2's that natively support double-precision audio are now properly supported, along with experimental support for the 'delay' attribute and a reworked internal plugin interface.
Also some minor performance improvements and fixes with regards to AVX2/AVX512 instructions, with expanded use of FMA instructions, minor optimizations and general reliability improvements.
Features
- Double precision processing filter engine (64bit audio processing) for improved fidelity with more complex setups
- Support for AVX2 & AVX-512 in both EAPO and all dependencies, including FFTW3's AVX2/AVX-512 optimizations.
- Expanded usage of AVX instructions to reduce processing latency
- Removes the need for static VC++ DLLs in the install folder
- Compiled with VS 2022 for all components, using the latest Windows 26100 SDK and additional compiler optimizations.
- Built with AOCL-FFTW 3.3.10 (optimized for AMD/modern CPUs)
- Updated Qt 6.10 for GUI components with native ARM support.
- Uses fp-precise instead of fp-fast for floating point math.
- Automated build pipeline for all components and the installer via Github Actions
- Fully native start-to-end ARM64 automated build.
Installation
Built for Windows 10/11. Three variants of the setup are provided depending on your CPU:
- AVX512: Intel 9th Gen -> 11th Gen, not supported for 12th Gen onwards. AMD Ryzen 7000+ CPUs onwards supported.
- AVX2: Anything from 2013 (Haswell) onwards for Intel, and anything from 2015 onwards (Piledriver/Ryzen) for AMD. If you're unsure what your CPU supports, fallback to the AVX2 build.
- ARM64: For users with Windows on ARM.
All files built with Github Actions, verifiable via SHA256 hash. Experimental AVX10.1 support available via artifact builds (not supported by current consumer CPUs).
