25.09.2019
This version contains major improvements for the AURA module. The new version AURA 4 is a paid upgrade and includes the following features:
- RAM limit lifted for AURA mappings: AURA 4 will use all of the available RAM.
- Faster AURA calculations: Simulation runs will be on average 2-3 times faster.
- RAM limit lifted for AURA auralization results: Binaural impulse responses (BIR) and B-format result files can now be computed using all of the physically available RAM.
- More flexible selection of result file formats: Detailed response files (RSP) can be computed separately from auralization results.
- New S-curve for default scattering: The newly introduced setting has 10% scattering below 500 Hz and 40% above 2 kHz providing for more realistic results when no scattering coefficient data is available.
