After four years of work, the Acousmodules series of plugins is now available in 64-bit versions in VST3 formats for Windows and AudioUnit for MacOS.
Acousmodules is a modular set dedicated to multichannel spatial sound creation. It includes advanced spatialization tools that can process up to 64 channels, but also effects and instruments based on sampling and multiphonic synthesis. They can be used with every spatial configurations, including standard formats like Auro-3D, 22.2 and domes.
