DecoPro (16 channels)
The DecoPro line is a decoder family for the VST platform which proviedes 2nd order
(or only first order if desired) ambisonic decoding. It uses the
decoding equations published by Furse and Malham. You can comfortably
edit and store different rigs as presets, also irregular. It features
respective order weighting for all orders (0th, 1st, and 2nd),
giving the possiblity to do both extremes ("strict soundfiled" or
"controlled opposites") and everything in between. It has automiatic
delay compensation for irregular arrays. The coordinates are specified
in meters for (x, y, z), the correct amount of delay is calculated
autmatically for the speakers which are nearer to the center. The
volume of each speaker can be adjusted individually for doing manual
correction of e.g. a difficult room, the volume settings can be stored
in the preset. As it is a VST-Plugin, you should be able to instantiate
several of them within a patch and apply differnt filter to each
plugin. DecoPro has no shelf filtering built in. Rotation of the
soundfield must be applied with another plugin, DecoPro handles the
decoding part only. It is most useful if used in a modular
host as MaxMSP, AudioMulch, or Bidule. DecoPro is available in three
configurations where only the number of channels change, DecoPro: 16,
DecoProXL 32, and DecoProXXL 64. Single licences are available, you
will get both binaries for Mac and for PC, if you use both platforms. Site licence are available. Besides the above
mentioned features, DecoPro also has a nice speaker testing feature,
where you can test either individually selected speakers or the whole
rig repetitively.
