Convolver 2.17 released

Convolver is a high-performance, multi-channel, multi-format DSP plug-in for Windows Media Player 10 or 9. The install package, which is for Windows XP, also contains two DirectX/DirectShow filter versions — ConvolverWrapper or the equivalent ConvolverFilter — for Adobe Audition and other applications such as Zoom Player Pro and TheaterTek 2.2, or J.River Media Center (when used with the DirectX host plug-in). Finally, there are a number of command line applications for testing performance, and convolving files directly, for example

Features:

Performance is already very good, and subject continual improvement

Arbitrary-length convolutions (1 million tap limit imposed only as a sanity check)

Multiple channel input and output, PCM and IEEE Float

Mixing and scaling of both inputs and outputs

Wide range of impulse file formats accepted (including WAV and raw 32-bit float PCM)

Windows Media Player plug-in, DMO and DirectShow filter interfaces

Changes for this release:

Allow WAV (or other libsndfile-compatible) files to be interpreted as filter paths (without the need for a config text file). The source channels are convolved with the corresponding channels of the WAV file (so not in matrix fashion). 

Allow a config file to comprise a list of filter path filenames, with automatic selection of the first compatible filter path (by number of input and output channels, sample rate)

Speed improvements
