Hi List,
I may be completely confused about this - but does "iem_bin_ambi" decode ambisonic-encoded material as a binaural signal? If so, does anyone have any example of its use beyond the help files available in Pd? I'm not able to work out how to use it.
I have an ambisonic project in which i'm using "cart2del_damp_2d" to to simulate the early reflections of moving sources relative to a virtual listener in a virtual room - and "ambi_encode" to do 2nd order encoding of the scene. The scene is ultimately decoded by ambdec for a 2D speaker array via jack.
Can iem_bin_ambi be used to produce a binaural mix of this - or am i right off track? Other suggestions?
I've been playing around with cw_binaural~ as an alternative technique (sending it angle values from a GUI and "cart2del_damp_2d" and damping the signal with distance) - sounds great but I can only spatialise the direct signal and the 1st set of early reflections from cart2del_damp_2d (using another 4 instances of cw_binaural~) before the computer starts to pack it in. I'm hoping that iem_bin_ambi might be more efficient.
Cheers,
Iain
