hello,
I want to build a patch that can diffuse an input from a microphone to a 10 channel speaker array. Ideally I'd like to do this with a 2d gui such as grid or maybe the gem window with gemmouse. I have done quad panner's in the past with no problems but I'm stumped at doing it for 10 channels.
does one already exist?
Have a look at the VBAP externals. You can define channels and positions fairly easily. The one problem with such vector-based systems is a kind of flip/flop that happens in the middle: imagine moving a sound through the center of the room rather than around the periphery. When it gets to the middle, it "jumps" from the speakers on one side to the other. But for most purposes VBAP is alright.
best, d.
