Hi List,

I'm putting together a 32 channel HDLA and looking for spatialization advice. The configuration will be two rings, one higher than the other, and I've been thinking a bit smaller/closer to approximate a hemisphere. But that's flexible - they could be parallel rings if it simplifies things.

I have some (limited) experience using HoaLibrary + PD for 2D ambisonics - so my initial thought was to try the 3d externals there - however I'm not sure if it actually makes sense to build an abstraction setup for a sphere of twice as many channels while limiting access to the upper hemisphere only. I'm assuming there would be some problems with that approach. 

I found a few papers on mixed-order ambisonics - by Chris Travis and also the AmbiX crew - but I'm not sure if there's away to implement that stuff with HoaLibrary. I'm also open to using different software if something else is recommended instead.

Thanks for any advice!
