Using Ambisonic toolkit with ReaJS vst
Hi,
first sorry for my poor english, I'm really happy to read all the threads about ambisonic. I'm a beginner for all these things and learn a lot here. I have a noob question about ATFK and ReaJS vst version (x64).I'm using Reaper as a DAW for testing and would like to use a modular DAW with the plugins for the final project. Unfortunatly, ReaJS vst seems to be reconize by others softwares with only 2in/2out (I triyng it with Brainmodular Usine and MInihost modular). Maybe it just my setup, but is there a way to change this ? it seems that theses ambisonic tools could just work directly in Reaper thanks a lot for reading my awful english ! Damien |

Hey Damien,
Plutôt que d'utiliser ATK, qui est limité au 1e ordre et utilise l'ancien ordonnancement des canaux (Furse-Malham ou FuMa), je te suggère les plug-ins IEM. Il y a aussi les plug-ins Aalto SPARTA et COMPASS, les plug-ins AmbiX de Matthias Kronlachner et finalement le kit "Core" de Blue Ripple Sound. Ces plug-ins sont certainement plus "modernes" que le ATK. À moins qu'il y ai une raison particulière pour utiliser le Ambisonic Toolkit? Hopefully, my post in French won't irritate other members, but nothing I wrote here is new to anyone who's been lurking around these parts... Damien, I suggest you read this book Ambisonics: A Practical 3D Audio Theory for Recording, Studio Production, Sound Reinforcement, and Virtual Reality. |

thanks a lot for the complete answer, the book seems very interesting
I'm using these vst and I'm agree with all you advices. There is indeed a reason for me to use the ATK in this project with my students (music school): it seems to be the only free 5.0 to ambisonic encoder tool. Blue Ripple Sound have a great O3A Upmixers library but it very expensive at least for this project: We have some nice 5.0 old recordings from previous students. I would like to use and convert this recordings to ambisonic for using it with the creations of the actuals students (ambisonic 3rd order ) thanks again for the detailed answer! Damien |

Okay then, just try using IEM MultiEncoder to encode the 5.0 sources into 3rd order.

Bonjour Damien,
I could not say better than Daniel : the IEM series is now the best you can find to work with Usine. Nevertheless we can hope that a higher order ATK will be eventually available since they have some processing tools that are yet missing elsewhere ! |

Thanks a lot for the answers, that clearly the best solution, again I learned a lot about the way of thinking "ambisonic" !
Best, Damien |

I sort of remember that Trond Lossius of ATK has hinted that ATK would be eventually modernized: higher orders and ambiX.

I keep coming back to 1st order FUMA just for the atk FocusPressPushZoom. It would be very useful to have 3rd or higher and ambix for those.

I have indeed. The function is great on the ambix suite. I really like the interface for ATK in this regard though. I find the Juice based sphere navigation to be not as nice as what Trond did with ATK. The influence graphic is the biggest difference. It is difficult to visualize what a transform is actually doing when it's just a dot on a rectangular projection.

You can use the Sparta Ambi Encode to do this - also a free plugin suite worth checking out!
