[PD] earplug~ or FIR~ for HRTF?

[Nicholas Mariette]

IEM's bin_ambi is a sophisticated binaural rendering system via higher  
order Ambisonic spatialisation to virtual speaker arrays.

FIR~ is very CPU intensive for HRTF processing.  It's much better to  
use frequency domain convolution with fft~ & ifft~ which is the case  
with bin_ambi.

I've listed some publicly available HRTF sets on my blog here:
