one more thing: If you want to position your virtual sound sources _inside_ the circle of speakers i am not sure if this is possible with ambisonics at all - and it's also difficult for VBAP depending on the triangulation it uses... you might want to check or manually specify it. In such a case I personally would want to have some center speakers and would have two VBAP-driven rings (in the middle and on the periphery) between which i would do conventional panning. I once used that i the case of a planetarium where the audience is situated in a ring between the center and the circular wall. I had 3 center speakers facing to the wall, 5 peripheral speakers facing to the center and two subwoofers. all the best, Thomas
