HOLOPLOT Plan Release v0.12.3

Introducing X2

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of X2. With X2, you can now take your simulations to the next level and unlock unprecedented possibilities in sound system design.

To start harnessing the power of X2 in our software, simply navigate to the array builder and select the X2 product line. Yellow X2 modules appear in the viewport, providing you with the flexibility to build X2 matrix arrays with ease and precision.

But that's not all - X2 introduces the ability to optimize beams using different input signals. Explore AES2, Male speech and M-Noise input signals to fine-tune and optimize your beams from X2 arrays.

Dig deeper with beam interference analysis

Unleash the power of beam interference analysis in our latest release! With the new beam interference toggle, you can now explore how beams interact with each other, and discover how they affect your sound system's performance.

By assuming the input signals routed to all beams and correlated, our advanced analysis tool enables you to identify potential problem areas of constructive and destructive interference within your venue.

Editing arrays just got easier

The Array Builder now supports editing array! With this release, we have added the ability to edit arrays from within the array list. Easily make changes and adjustments to your arrays for a more streamlined workflow.

New Low-shelf 7db target response

We have included a new Low-shelf 7dB target response option (which sounds great on the system!), providing you with greater flexibility in achieving your desired sound characteristics.

Test signal options now available

We are excited to introduce an expanded range of options for test input signals in the simulation with X1 and X2 arrays. Now, you have the flexibility to choose from three input signals to view your array's performance: AES2, Male speech, and M-Noise.

Z axis is now shown in the viewport

To make designing, visualizing and manipulating sound sources in three-dimensional space even easier, we have incorporated the rendering of the Z axis which is shown in blue in the viewport.

Fine tuning your experience

We have made some changes and enhancements to HOLOPLOT Plan in the latest version:

• Eye icon always shown in list: We have made improvements to the user interface, ensuring that the eye icon is always visible when a zone is hidden, and the unpin icon is displayed when a probe is pinned in the simulation.

• Update default camera position: The default camera position has been updated to align with the positive X and Y axis towards the right side, offering a more intuitive orientation.

• Update to the application font: We have implemented a new application font, enhancing the overall visual appearance and readability.

• Remove obsolete Low-shelf 9dB target response: Out with the old, in with the better, the outdated Low-shelf 9dB target response has been removed to make way for the Low-shelf 7dB which sounds so much better on the system

• Other UI improvements: We have made various user interface enhancements to improve the overall user experience.

Fixes

• Inverted touchpad zoom when doing small motion: We have resolved the issue with inverted touchpad zoom when performing small motions, ensuring a smooth and consistent zoom experience.

• List not scrolling when adding an item: The problem of lists not scrolling when adding an item has been addressed and resolved, allowing for seamless list management.

• Icons getting misaligned when moving Plan to another monitor: We have fixed the issue where icons would become misaligned when moving the Plan application to another monitor, ensuring proper visual alignment and consistency.
