The VBAP plugin for Puredata is the same than the one for Max/MSP, and was written by Ville Pulkki who created the VBAP method: https://puredata.info/downloads/vbap I don't think that Puredata was difficult to learn; that said I started in 1997 after 6 years of Max (from its beta version). PD is still being used, even by younger adopters; I saw a data sonification demo last week made by students in AI (who are not more intelligent than sound designers). It lacks the shiny user interface of DAWs (and Max/MSP). -- Marc > On 27 March 2018 at 13:17, søren Bendixen <soerenbendi...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Thanks > > And impressive work! > > Now I just need to now where to get vbap or another form of > > amplitude panning - plug-ins and a hint re.
