Field notes

The site describes Otomiru as a native C++ plugin made with JUCE and Xcode, intended to calculate spatial audio relationships rather than approximate depth through simple filtering. Its stated model includes phase, distance attenuation, and frequency-dependent absorption from the floor, ceiling, and walls. A public demonstration positions orchestral instruments in Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture, while the product is offered as a $40 VST3 and AAX download for Mac and Windows.
