Almudio just yeeted panning into the third dimension, and your headphones become a full surround rig for zero extra hardware. Called 3D Panner, the plugin maps every source onto a sphere through binaural rendering pulled from the SADIE II HRTF dataset, meaning sound sits above, below, behind, and ahead with zero room treatment or physical speakers needed.
But here's where it gets genuinely wild. The engine splits audio into as many as eight bands, each packing a dedicated limiter, keeping bass planted while highs roam the 3D field independently. Eight LFOs drive the motion, covering random drift, pendulum swings, and hand-drawn XY shapes with adjustable speed, depth, and direction.
Format-wise, Windows users grab VST3, while macOS picks up VST3 alongside Audio Unit, with AAX still on the roadmap. The Mac build runs as a Universal Binary handling Apple Silicon and Intel natively. Minimum specs ask for Windows 10 64-bit or macOS 11, which is pretty reasonable for what this thing pulls off.
