The Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology ICST of the
Zurich School of Music, Drama and Dance is proud to announce the
release of a set of externals for Max/MSP for Ambisonics surround
sound processing.
These externals are the result of research and practise using
Ambisonics since 2000 and have been tested and used in numerous
concerts, compositions and installations.
The ICST releases these externals under the terms of the GNU Lesser
General Public License (LGPL).
For more information regarding this license go to http://www.gnu.org.
This release comprises four objects for surround sound processing and
source-control in three dimensions:
ambiencode~ - encode n audio-channels in up to 3rd order ambisonic
b-format
ambidecode~ - decode up to 3rd order ambisonic b-format to n audio- channels
ambimonitor - graphical user interface object for sound-source
placement (Mac only)
ambicontrol - control sound-sources in the ambimonitor in a variety
of ways (Mac only)
This release has been developed and tested on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) and
Max/MSP 4.5.x
The DSP-objects have also been compiled and tested under Windows XP
SP2 and Max/MSP 4.5.x. Due to the considerable task of porting the
GUI object to Windows, this release for Windows contains only the
audio-objects.
The files can be downloaded from: http://www.icst.net/downloads/
We hope you'll enjoy them!
