Ambisonic Tools
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Hochschule
für Musik Winterthur Zürich and the Swiss
Center for Computer Music a set of Ambisonic VST plugins have been
written by Dave Malham and Ambrose Field from the Department of Music,
University of York. England. They have been placed in the public domain
as a service to the musical community in general, and electroacoustic
musicians in particular, with two conditions;
- All rights
in the software reside with the sponsors. You may use the software,
without charge to you, for any reasonable and legal purpose. You may
also redistribute it but you may not sell it or charge for it (except
for a materials charge). You must inform users of its source and acknowledge
its use.
- Although
all reasonable care has been taken to ensure that this software is fit
for use and in no way infringes any rights, copyrights or laws, by downloading
it you accept full responsibility for all consequences, losses or
outcomes however caused. You thereby absolve the sponsoring organisations
and the code authors of all liabilities.
Currently there
are two plugins available in the Swiss Center range;
- B-pan
Ambisonic Encoder
- B-dec
High resolution First Order Ambisonic B-format decoder
These are new
versions, as of July 2002, with minor bug fixs. The decoder no longer
loses its gui when opened twice and the panners do not stop audio when
centre size is set to zero. They have been tested in Nuendo
1.6 on PC and Mac (OS9), in the latest beta version of AudioMulch on the
PC, in Plogue Bidule on the PC
(Mac version available RSN, October 2002) and in Max/MSP on the Mac.Mac
Users
Please note
that there have been reports of problems with the German language versions
of OS9, the International and American versions seem more stable.
