I am pleased to announce a new release of the D4 library version 2.3.0 with tons of additions, improvements, bug-fixes, and new goodies, including:

*Native Max D4 external with optimizations

*New vastly optimized D4.calc.poly~ and a battery of supporting abstractions that mute unused channels. The resulting optimization allowed the D4 to be utilized in a recent Traces premiere with 7,955 signals and 25,337 function calls with 2,780 virtual channels of audio being mixed down to 130 physical ones, whereas the launch demo in 2013 allowed for 1,018 signals and 5,103 function calls and approx. 1,000 virtual channels of audio being mixed down to 128, as reported by Max's adstatus. Both scenarios utilized 48KHz sampling rate with sub-20ms latency.

*Created safe defaults for D4.calc~ to make it immediately usable when created

*Added Virginia Tech Perform studio visualization and a silent floor calibration option

*Updated Virginia Tech Cube and DISIS calibration with new loudspeakers and added a silent floor option for both

*Added D4.mask.calculator.single.maxpat abstraction which is a version of the same abstraction without threading

*Added example patch D4.sensel&webcam.mask.demo.maxpat that interfaces D4's spatial mask with the Sensel controller and/or webcam to allow for first-of-a-kind interactive spatial audio painting that processes audio with customizable mask-driven DSP algorithms per audio channel

*Updated 2017 Moogfest demo to compensate for the delay

*Added color customization to the D4.meter.cell~

*Note the D4.ui.widgets.maxpat that offers a simple convenience mixing fader for coordinating multiple stems, including globally-aware solo and mute

*Minor bug-fixes and updates to the abstractions

*Authorization files now require .txt extension: existing users with D4auth files should rename the files to D4auth.txt

Timed demo lasting 4 minutes and 33 seconds is available and free for download via the site linked below:
