> Do you have a suggestion for ambisonic plugins?
Here are some free and open source ambisonic plugins:

IEM plugins: https://plugins.iem.at/

SPARTA: https://leomccormack.github.io/sparta-site/

ICST plugins: https://ambisonics.ch/page/icst-ambisonics-plugins

Personally, I use the IEM plugins. One very nice thing about those is 
that they can automatically deduce the ambisonics order from the channel 
count. For example, let's take the following stereo encoder:

[vstplugin~ -e -m StereoEncoder 2 16]

Here I create it with 16 output channels, so the StereoEncoder will 
automatically output a 3rd order ambisonic signals

If I send the [channels 24( message to [vstplugin~] it will switch to 24 
output channels and the StereoEncoder will automatically switch to 4th 
order.

If you want to change the ambisonics order of your whole patch, you just 
need to send the same [channels <n>( message to all your [vstplugin~] 
instances and the [send~]/[receive~]/[catch~] objects that make up your 
"ambisonic busses". (You don't have to do this for [throw~].)
