Subject: First public release of the D4 spatialization library
Please excuse x-posting…
Announcing the first public release of the D4 spatialization library for
Max featuring:
– Innovative Layer Based Amplitude Panning algorithm that can handle
just about any loudspeaker arrangement with particular focus on High
Density Loudspeaker Arrays (HDLAs)
– Innovative implementation of high precision audio source radius,
Spatial Mask, and Motion Blur
– Unique visual spatialization editing tools for hobbyists and
professionals alike, including spatial source painting
– Ability to spatialize a broad array of multidimensional data by
leveraging the Jitter library
– Multilayered system with independent layers and focus on
perimeter-based 3D immersion
– 3D visualization of spatial audio and hooks for immersive scenarios,
including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
– A comprehensive collection of time-based editing tools
– A Mostly Open Source Software (MOSS) approach empowering users to
tinker and improve the system
– Lean and optimized implementation leveraging maximum amount of
built-in MaxMSP objects, including dynamic creation and parallel
processing
– A drop-in replacement for the existing spatialization options (e.g.
using azimuth and elevation)
– Ideal for researchers, production engineers, and artists alike
D^4 has been utilized in the Virginia Tech ICAT Cube with 128 channels
of audio at 48KHz 24-bit using Dante interface with single audio buffer
size of 256 bytes (or 5.33ms) with 21 simultaneous audio streams, 5 of
which were in constant motion, for a total of 1,018 software audio
streams being mixed down to 128 physical channels. No audio dropouts
were observed in the said scenario.
D^4 will be officially unveiled on July 4th, with the first workshop
being held on July 6th in Canberra, Australia, as part of the ICAD 2016
conference. Later this fall, D^4 will be also presented as part of the
ICMC 2016 workshop in Utrecht, Netherlands.
D^4 is currently available at an introductory price for both students
and professionals.
