I've used Bidule a lot for demos in the past. Works well and is pretty reliable, plus its available on OSX as well as Windows - could wish it was on Linux as well but, hey... . Once you have a working patch it can be wrapped up as a 'group' which makes your nice working patch a little bit more

Rapture3D player is simple enough but there should be a free player for this I have a basic “AudioFilePlayer” plugin which is a hack of the JUCE Demo. Does the trick, will tidy it up and make it public. Would be nice to to have a limited patcher for remapping outputs. Oli > On 25 Oct 2017,

Hi len depends on how you want to use it - Audacity will play back 4/6/8 channel files though wont allow routing so they just output to 1-n - great for quick testing but not for sharing. I did do a bunch of streaming tests 5 years ago and settled on 4ch wavs in a quicktime movie - no loss

Re: [Sursound] Simple Software to Play a 6-channel WAV File (Windows)?

But I have been thinking about it -- fatal! If you start off from WXY, which is what I use, and make these into 4.0, you have merely done a linear transform (a sophisticated LR-->SD relationship). As this is totally lossless, any added phase anomalies either before or after the transform,

I should have said "storing pre-decoded signals in a compressed format has less potential to be problematic" since phase errors likely to upset pre-decoded material would probably also cause problems with stereo which hopefully would have been picked up and dealt with during testing. I should say

Hi, Just a word of warning, take care using compressed formats like mp4 for storing B format. If the compression used is lossy, this can screw up the decoding since phase errors can result in the sum and difference equations involved producing wrong results. Of course, storing pre-decoded

I'd appreciate it if someone could recommend a very simple Windows audio player that can play a 6-channel WAV file to a 6-speaker ring. A DAW will be too complicated for this user and application. Len Moskowitz (mosko...@core-sound.com) Core Sound LLC www.core-sound.com Home of TetraMic
