Hi Stefan One can use multiple instances to create as many beamformers as one needs to upmix or extract. One doesn't need to be constrained to 7.1 or 5.1 positions, as all beamformers can be moved. Although in pairs and a separate centre channel, which is a pain. As i mentioned earlier, it good at this, a lot better than the usual virtual first order mic. As one can suppress the rear lobe. It is definitely sharper as well. I can't compare it directly to Harpex as i don't have the full Harpex version, just the algorithm in Blue Ripples Harpex up mixer. (which i use all the time) The Rode plugin is free so try it. I am not sure why, as I think users would pay for its decording. I am now using it regularly.
