[Sursound] Mosca: Ambisonic GUI for Supercollider
Hello all, Forwarding an edited message that I sent to the SuperCollider list on the weekend: Recently I've been working on a class/quark for GUI assisted authoring of ambisonic sound fields. The class is called Mosca and I think it may be of general interest. It uses Joseph Anderson's Ambisonic Toolkit among other components and allows for quick/easy spatialisation of sounds from a variety of sources (file, hardware-inputs, SC synths) as well as various options for reverberation, recording of trajectories and control data, A-format inserts for user defined filters and basic sync with a DAW via MMC - among other features. It has not been tested on Mac or Windows however, only on Linux, so I'd like to invite people on the list to please try it out. (I believe there will be file saving issues on Windows in relation to the Automation quark - something I'll try and fix once I get my hands on a Windows machine.) The home page for the project is here: http://escuta.org/mosca The Github page is here: https://github.com/escuta/mosca It requires the Ambisonic Tool Kit (ATK) to be installed and the ATK kernels. See http://www.ambisonictoolkit.net/download/supercollider/ It also requires the latest version of the Automation Quark and additionally: Mathlib, CTK and XML (which should all install automatically with Mosca). Once installed, please run help on "Mosca" for detailed information and source code examples. You'll also need to set up a project directory with subdirectories "auto" and "rir". See the zip file here http://escuta.org/mosca for an example B-format RIR file (48kHz) and B-format recordings, some of which are included with kind permission from John Leonard. I hope it's of use to people on the list. Many thanks to Joseph Anderson for his assistance and suggestions as well Neels Hofmeyr and to various people on the list for answering my recent barrage of questions! Please see also my B-format field recordings here: http://escuta.org/en/projects/research/cerrado/audio-map.html and other ambisonic resources here: http://escuta.org/en/projects/research/ambiresources.html Please let me know if you have any suggestions or discover any problems.

Stick eight of these together then 8 x "180 VR" = "720 VR". I'm patenting this ... and hoping to sell the new arithmetic to some third world governents (and all first world ones). BTW isn't it 360 azimuth and 180 elevation and thus 540,not 720 Michael ___ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.

Hi, I presume that the name "720 VR" is for 360 degrees azimuth plus 360 degrees zenith.

Nothing to do with me, but just came up on the radar https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/twirling720-vr-audio-recorder#/ Love the name. Should be twice as good as 360. Then again, 1440 would be even better. Anyone? But let's ease off on those guys, they are among the few who actually post specs and a concept that might even work, because people have been testing it since the 70s :-D Neat packaging. -- Jörn Nettingsmeier De -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
