slab3d v6.8.4 April 6, 2023 This software is based on SLAB v5.8.1 released under the NASA Open Source Agreement Version 1.3. System Requirements slab3d runs under Windows 7 and above and supports WDM (DirectSound, Waveform-Audio) and ASIO sound device drivers. If executing a slab3d application reports a missing DLL, the likely candidate dependencies are, depending on slab3d version (see Version History): .NET 4 or .NET 4.5, DirectX End-User Runtime June 2010 (for SLABScape), XNA 4.0 Redistributable (for pre-v6.8.3 XScape/SlabX), Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable (for all, see The Microsoft Download Center), or Visual Studio 2017 Redistributable (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/). The most recent slab3d libraries and executables are built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and MonoGame (http://www.monogame.net/downloads/). The Visual Studio 2015 XNA projects require the "XNA 4.0 Refresh (Visual Studio 2015)" (XNA Game Studio 4.0.5.zip) previously distributed by mklemarczyk on codeplex. Due to the demise of codeplex, it is has been added to the slab3d SourceForge downloads (many thanks to mklemarczyk for making this package available). More information on building slab3d is available in the slab3d User Manual. Installation slab3d is distributed in a ZIP archive (.zip). To install, download the ZIP file and unzip to any location. Multiple versions of slab3d can be installed on the same computer. The bin\SLABScape.exe application can be used to create a Start Menu folder (see About dialog). SLABScape is also the main demo application. To start rendering 3D sound, press the [S] toolbar button.
