Nuspace Audio has introduced Zephyr, a 3D audio binaural/surround reverb plugin, based in higher-order Ambisonics (HOA), a speaker-independent format for representing 3D sound-fields suited for spatial audio systems.
Nuspace describes Zephyr as a ‘complete spatial audio package for crafting 3D soundscapes’.
Features:
- 1st / 2nd / 3rd order HOA encoder: 8 sources, Mercator projection panner
- HOA algorithmic reverb: Time, attack, size, reflection direction/inversion, scatter, modulation, high/low end dampening/resonator controls
- HOA rotator: Yaw, pitch, invert controls
- HOA decoder: Integrated binaural HRTF, stereo, quadraphonics, 5.1, hexagon/octagon speakers
- Early reflection processor: Delay, gain, low/high cut, width, direction, depth controls
- Early chorus processor: 1-7 multi-stages
- Sound-field visualizer: Real-time, brightness controls
- Multi-configurations: Input (16 multi-channels, mono, AmbiX) / Output (Headphone/AmbiX/Speaker setups)
- 90+ presets

Pricing and Availability
Zephyr is available now for US $50.
No commemts? Sounds pretty decent. I’m interested in knowing more about binaural panning and ambisonic format. Anyone mixing using similar technique? This looks pretty reasonable.
I like it and for me definitely worth $50.
