HoRNet Plugins Releases Spaces MK2 - Room-Based Reverb with Ray Tracing Simulation

HoRNet Plugins has announced the release of Spaces MK2, a room-based reverb plugin that simulates acoustics using ray tracing physics.

Spaces MK2 is designed for producers, mixers, and sound designers who prefer a "room workflow" — defining geometry, materials, and source positions — over browsing impulse response presets. The plugin calculates reflections by tracing acoustic rays and computing delays and attenuations based on path length, delivering natural-sounding reverb without relying on sampled IRs.

Key Features:

• Ray Tracing Physics — Reflections are built by tracing acoustic rays through the defined room, calculating delays and attenuations based on actual path lengths for natural results.
• Modellable Room — Define room dimensions in meters (Width, Length, Height). Each wall has independent LF and HF controls for both reflections and diffusion.
• 3D Source/Mic Positioning — Position Speaker L/R sources and the listener microphone in X/Y/Z coordinates within the room.
• Remove Ceiling Option — Enable open-air or partially enclosed spaces for less "boxy" reverb characteristics.
• Stereo and Binaural Modes — Binaural mode uses a virtual head with two ears for immersive headphone listening; works without special headphones.
• Room Presets — Save and load complete room configurations. Set a default room that loads on startup.
• Global Controls — Macro controls for Reflections amount, Diffusion amount, and Dry/Wet mix.
