Citando Steven Boardman <boardroomout...@gmail.com>:

“Apparently it uses adaptive parametric processing, ala Harpex.

 In fact one can use the plugin on b-format too. Which means with a little

 jiggery pokery it is possible to upmix, in a Harpex style for free.

 I haven’t used it like this, as i have the blue ripple Harpex upmixer. But

 i have used it to beamform a hyper cardiod without rear lobe with great

 success.”

They don’t mention this, in fact this seems to be a kind of Facebook speculation...

So in my understanding you can’t simulate a high-resolution ambisonics to 5.1 decoding (for example) with 5 virtual shotgun mikes. Because the “shotgun capsule responses” won’t add up to a 5.1 microphone at all... (The 5.1 mike capsule responses should be rather cardioid, and a coincident stereophonic 5.1 microphone ain’t be good either.)

It is even less clear how a supposed new parametric ambisonics decoding process should work, because such a thing is neither explained nor even mentioned by Rode - and I don’t see any function to test... Do I miss anything? Of course it would be quite sensational if Rode should have invented a new form of FOA upsampling AND would give this away “for free” in some plugin. (AND then not promoting this sensational feature...)

 But I highly doubt it...

Best,

Stefan

P.S.: But in case I should be wrong, it would have been me to provoke a reaction from Rode which would < unveil > a very hidden and insignificant superresolution feature.  😎
