HOLOPLOT Plan 2.5.0
New in HOLOPLOT Plan 2.5.0 🚀
Plan 2.5 is a major feature release introducing automated alignment tooling, per-beam target zone control, and a significantly enhanced tuning and downmix workflow. The focus is on reducing manual effort in complex system designs, giving engineers more precise control over alignment and tuning, and making the overall design process faster and more transparent.
What's New
Auto Gain & Delay Alignment
Plan 2.5 introduces automated alignment of beam gains and delays within a layer, reducing the manual work required to tune complex systems.
New capabilities include:
Automatically align gains and delays across beams in a layer
Option to include or exclude EQs from the alignment process
Option to lock delays and align gains only
Assign specific Target Zones to individual beams to control what each beam aligns against, with automatic fallback to covered zones when none is assigned
This significantly speeds up the alignment workflow for large and complex projects, while preserving engineer control over what gets adjusted.
Spatial Fills Function Group Type
Plan 2.5 introduces a dedicated Spatial Fills Function Group type, alongside the ability to edit EQ directly at the Function Group level.
New capabilities include:
A dedicated Spatial Fills Function Group type with dedicated gain alignment behaviour
Edit EQ directly at the Function Group level, without needing to work beam by beam
These additions make it faster to configure and fine-tune complex system architectures.
Streamlined Beam Config & Tuning Panel
The Beam Config and Tuning panels have been combined into a single unified panel with a new toolbar.
This improves:
Workflow efficiency by reducing panel switching
Clarity with column sorting now available in the Tuning Panel
Overall consistency of the beam configuration experience
Layer Downmix Panel Improvements
The Layer Downmix Panel has been substantially upgraded with new controls and a clearer value breakdown.
New capabilities include:
Mute and Solo controls directly in the Layer Downmix Panel
Open EQ context action from the panel
Value breakdown view showing Total, Manual, and Alignment contributions
Reset Delta and Reset Alignment actions, with persisted split-button selection
These changes give engineers more visibility into how downmix values are composed and faster access to corrective actions.
Routing & Downmix Matrix Redesign
The Routing/Downmix matrix has been transposed so that audio inputs are displayed as rows and beams as columns, with grouping support.
This makes the matrix:
Easier to read and navigate in large systems
More consistent with standard signal flow conventions
Better suited to systems with many beams
Stability & Performance Fixes
Plan 2.5 also includes a number of important fixes:
Fixed a crash when running Normalize Delays on projects containing empty layers
Fixed a crash on Windows when toggling Optimised Virtual Source
Fixed module type changes not being reflected in the renderer
Fixed incorrect row highlighting and selection sync in segmental tree views
Gizmo now has an "off" mode to prevent accidental object movement
Various fixes to .holoplot import/export, downmix labels, and tooltips
