Hello All,
On the behalf of the Ambisonic Toolkit's development team, I'm pleased
to announce the Ambisonic Toolkit v1.0.0 library for SuperCollider3
has been released and is now available for download and installation:
http://www.ambisonictoolkit.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Downloads
NOTE: The Ambisonic Toolkit requires SuperCollider version 3.5.
-----------
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.
Along with powerful soundfield transforms—the spatial filtering tools
enabling soundfield-kernel reshaping—the ATK provides a comprehensive
set of Ambisonic encoders (including pseudo-inverse) and decoders
(5.1, binaural, UHJ, full-3D) allowing users to thoroughly leverage
the power of the Ambisonic technique.
-----------
The SuperCollider3 version of the Ambisonic Toolkit (ATK) is free
software, and is published under the GPLv3 free software license.
-----------
We welcome contributions that help make the ATK a comprehensive
solution for artists and musicians. If you are interested in
contributing to the codebase and becoming an ATK developer, please
join the community.
-----------
Also of note, we'll presenting the ATK at two upcoming events:
25th AES UK Conference: Spatial Audio in Today’s 3D World
in association with the
4th International Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics
York, UK
25 - 27 March 2012
http://www.aes-uk.org/uk-conference/25th-conf-spatial-audio-in-todays-3d-world/
AND
SC.symposium.play(s)
A week-long festival dedicated to the SuperCollider audio programming
environment.
London, UK
12 - 19 April 2012
