I think I've got this figured out. (but need help with matrices)

[ambi_decode3] spits out a matrix of numbers. Each line represents one speaker, each column (in each line) is the factor to multiply the appropriate component (or channel) of the incoming ambisonic signal.

If I am right then all I need to do is, for each row (i.e. speaker), multiple each col value to the appropriate component of the ambisonic signal ... then add them all up.... and that will be that particular speaker's feed.

I've got 2 libs loaded iem_matrix and iemmatrix. iemmatrix seems to have far more objects in it, but none of them have any help patches (and many need the * replaced with 'mul'). (OSX PD Extended).

I'm not too familiar with the concept of matrices ... but this is what I need to do:

Is there a matrix object that can have 9 inputs (i.e. second order 3D ambisonic signal) .... and then have 16 outputs (being my speakers). Then I pump in how each output is created by adding up the 9 imputs which have been factored?

I can do this outside of matrices but its gonna be shitloads of objects.

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help me with something that I am sure is obvious to those in the know.

The IEM object [ambi_decode3] produces an ambisonic decoder matrix (i.e. a bunch of floats) ... how can I turn that (with a source sound) into speaker feeds?

Would anyone have a sample patch?

BTW: IOhannes, [ambi_decode2] [ambi_decode] [ambi_decode_cube] dont have help patches.
