So now I'm attempting to add convolution to MQn. In MQn.bat I execute convolverCMD but MQn cannot play the convolved file.
The mqncontrol window opens and closes faster than usual and mqnplay does not execute.
Foobar plays the convolved file normally. The only difference apart from the sound quality is that the file is identified as PCM (floating-point) whilst the original file is just PCM.
Does anything prevent MQn from playing PCM floating-point?
Yes, you should use the regular integer as number format.
Floating point does not really have any advantages.

may have had a setting incorrect, have uploaded play v49, control v27 and loader v26

setting reduced the digital sound from the wasapi days, but doesn't seem to be required now, seems to be more definition/detail with it removed.

handling floats is not very nice in assembly, so integer should sound better for that reason alone.

after a while there's something deeply unpleasant about those versions.

there was a problem with that setting in play v48, so have applied it correctly in play v50.

hope to get the multi track functionality sorted over the weekend.

All of the latest version have been removed again.
What is your current POV on the proper one?
