You could also take a look at dlocsig (which comes with clm - wrote it a long time ago). With it you can define "paths" an object will take when moving in space and then use dlocsig to render that movement. Dlocsig is sort of a unit generator you can include in your own instruments. Or you can use the example soundfile ins to move a soundfile around. It is not easy to use :-) but it can deal with arbitrary speaker configurations. It can render using VBAP (amplitude panning) or first order Ambisonics. -- Fernando > Would that tweeter tree be a Z axis for panning coordinates ?
