OpenChatMix 2.5.6

The Nova Elite and Nova 7 Gen 2 get a parametric equalizer on the Headset tab.

Highlights

  • Parametric headset equalizer. On the Arctis Nova Elite and Nova 7 Gen 2 the Headset tab now has
    the same response graph as the Equalizer tab: ten filters, each with its own type, frequency, gain and
    Q. Drag a point left or right for the frequency, up or down for the gain, turn the mouse wheel over it
    for Q, or set it all in the band editor below. It runs in the headset itself, so GG can stay closed.
  • GG's game presets, as GG sends them. On these headsets a game preset goes on with its own filters
    instead of being fitted to ten bands. For the presets in @Lasfecas's USB capture in #6, the bytes are
    the same as GG's.
  • Presets keep the filters. Saved headset presets hold the filters, plus the closest ten-band curve, so
    they still load on headsets with fixed bands.

Other headsets keep their ten band sliders. Both equalizers are still experimental on these headsets: the
peak filter is confirmed, while shelf and pass filters follow the vendor's protocol description. If one of
them doesn't sound right, please tell us in #6 or #7.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md.

Upgrading

  • Earlier versions find this one on their own once a day (Settings → Updates), download it, check it
    against SHA256SUMS.txt and restart. You can also replace OpenChatMix.exe by hand.
  • Your settings carry over; a custom curve becomes the same filters.

Files

  • OpenChatMix.exe: the app, portable.
  • OpenChatMix-2.5.6-win-x64.zip: the app with both READMEs, the license and the third-party notices.
  • DeepFilterNet-OpenChatMix.dll: the optional AI noise suppression plugin, built from tools/deepfilter.
  • DeepFilterNet-NOTICES.txt: the licenses of DeepFilterNet and the Rust crates inside the plugin.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt: checksums.

The binaries are not code-signed, so SmartScreen may ask for confirmation on the first run, and some
antivirus programs may flag a new, unsigned program; these are false positives. Compare the files with
SHA256SUMS.txt, read the source code or build them yourself. Third-party code (RNNoise, the VST 3 SDK
interfaces, DeepFilterNet in the plugin) is listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
