[PD] Ambisonics for Immersive Environment

[noisternig at iem.at]

Hi Milo,

The IEM's ambisonics approach (binaural or with loudspeakers) is very  
consistent and from my point of view very well programmed (as the  
programming involved Thomas, Iohannes, Winfried ....)

The CUBEMixer is a very nice GUI combining sub-busses, direct routing,  
ambisonics (for headphones and speakers), room-simulation, etc., and  
allows you to work like on a conventional mixing desk.

We've been applying the libraries mentioned above to many artistic and  
scientific projects over the last view years. I really can recommend  
to using them, as they are pretty stable. The communication with your  
applications might be easily implemented using OSC.

Unfortunately I don't know the libraries you mentioned (Amblib,  
ambipan, etc.) very well. So please check for other recommendations  
too :)

Cheers,

Markus
