i understand that atan2 outputs radiants and not degrees. if i divide atan2's output by pi and then multiply it with 180 the results are not at all, what i imagine them to be,.
the result of this operation, should be between -180 and 180, right?
the result of the operation above, eg. the values that [atan2] is outputting are between -pi and plus pi... and i dont quite know how to translate this result into 0-360.. and still i am facing a dilemma, which is what you mentioned:
This would be kind of tricky in terms of math, if you want for the intermediate joystick values (not just the direction) to control the sound distribution. You likely want to have the sum of squares of your output signals to remain constant (constant total intensity) regardless of joystick position.
well thats the thing or exactly the issue i am having..there are so many intermediate joystick values and i have no clue how to deal with them.. can you explain what you mean with "the sum of squares of your output signal" ? i also wonder if there is a way to have a full representation of all the intermediate values: eg. resting the joystick in the middle means to distribute it evenly amongst all four.. thanks for all your guys help... i will keep you up to date.. such a simple task and such a complicated way to do it : ) complicity.. simplexity..
