Hello, we made available today a VST plugin implementation of a parametric ambisonic decoder based on the COMPASS model, published last year at IEEE ICASSP2018 (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8462608, also on ResearchGate).
The decoder works with first-, second-, and third-order material, and applies a parametric model of multiple sound sources and an ambient component. More available channels (higher-orders) allow additional sound source components to be analyzed. The decoder can sound sharper than a traditional linear ambisonic decoder, especially at first-, and second-order material. The user can manipulate the balance between the analyzed source and ambient signals, and control the percentage of “parametric”-vs-“linear” decoding. Furthermore, as with the previous SPARTA suite of loudspeaker-based plugins released by the Acoustics Lab in Aalto University, the plugin allows definition of custom loudspeaker setups, and headphone monitoring using generic HRTFs, or user-provided personalized ones in the SOFA format. You can find the plugins, more info and download links here: http://research.spa.aalto.fi/projects/compass_vsts There is also a video demo in the web page demonstrating functionality over a range of first-order and third-order material.
