Panaudium 0.2.1

Sample-free, Omnisphere-style layered synthesizer for Windows (VST3 + standalone).

Install

• Panaudium-0.2.1-Windows-x64-Setup.exe (recommended): installs the VST3 to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3, the folder every DAW scans, plus an optional standalone app. Then rescan plugins in your DAW. In FL Studio, use Options → Manage plugins → Find plugins.
• Panaudium-0.2.1-Windows-x64.zip: the same files for a manual install. Copy the Panaudium.vst3 folder into your VST3 folder.

No Visual C++ redistributable is needed, because the runtime is linked statically. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning, since the installer is not code-signed.

What's new in 0.2.1

• FX rack modelled on Omnisphere's: 3 slots per layer plus 4 common slots, with 17 units and 84 models.
  • Stompbox models, analog phaser, chorus/ensemble, flanger, tremolo/gate, Leslie rotary
  • Delay, 8×8 FDN reverb, Innerspace convolution with procedurally synthesised impulse responses, shimmer
  • EQ, compressor/pump, lo-fi, ring/frequency shift, wah, tape, amp sim
• Custom GUI: layer pages with engine-specific labels, the FX rack, a preset browser, and real-unit readouts (also shown in DAW automation).
• 115 presets (80 new) in 18 categories, loudness-matched to −18 LUFS (σ 0.2 LU).

Verified

• Headless VST3 host test over all 115 programs. It covers automation fuzz, 1–1024-sample blocks, 44.1–192 kHz, bit-exact state restore, editor open/close, and at least 5× real-time headroom for the worst block.
• pluginval at strictness 8: pass.
• Steinberg VST3 validator: 47 of 47.
• FX torture test (every unit × model × knob extreme): no NaN/Inf, bounded output.
• Not yet verified: the installer has not been run on a clean machine yet.

0.2.1 fix

• Fixed a race where prepareToPlay on a non-message thread could free the synth while preset-loading or the FX-preload timer was still using it.
• Known issue: pluginval crashes on GitHub's CI runner during its program-change test, while it passes locally at maximum strictness. Under investigation, so these binaries were built locally rather than by CI.
