While there is a well-established workflow for stereo production in DAWs,
options have been more limited when working with Ambisonics. The Ambisonic
Toolkit (ATK) brings together a number of classic and novel tools for the
artist working with Ambisonic surround sound. The toolset in intended to be
both ergonomic and comprehensive, framed so that the user is enabled to ‘think
Ambisonic’. By this, the ATK addresses the holistic problem of creatively
controlling a complete soundfield, facilitating spatial composition beyond
simple placement of sounds in a sound-scene. The artist is empowered to address
the impression and imaging of a soundfield — taking advantage of the native
soundfield-kernel paradigm the Ambisonic technique presents.
ATK has previously only been available for public release via the SuperCollider
real-time processing environment. Using the JSFX text-based scripting language,
the ATK has now been ported to plugins for Reaper. Several of the plugins, in
particular the transforms, offers intuitive graphical user interfaces that
helps visualise the effect of the various transforms. The plugins work with all
operation system and processor versions that Reaper supports. On the Windows
platform the plugins can also be used with other VST-hosts by means of the
ReaJS ReaPlugs plugin [1].
The ATK toolset has been been gathered, authored and developed by Joseph
Anderson over a number of years, and is now a collaborative open source
project. The port of ATK to Reaper has been done by Trond Lossius of BEK,
Bergen Center for Electronic Arts.
A paper on ATK for Reaper by Trond Lossius and Joseph Anderson will be
presented at the upcoming joint ICMC | SMC conference in Athens. If you are
attending the conference, please drop by during the poster session next
Thursday!
Best,
Trond
