Ambisonic Scene Rotation Plugin

Sale ends in:

The aXRotate plugin is an Ambisonic scene rotator plugin with head-tracking support via OSC.

Ambisonics allows for very efficient rotation of sound fields containing a large number of sound sources because they can all be rotated at once.

The aXRotate is capable of rotating any ambisonic scene up to tenth-order.

The aXRotate plug allows you to rotate the Ambisonics signal around three different axes in the order yaw, pitch and roll.

The aXRotate plugin also allows you to add small oscillations to the sound scene to simulate the micro head movements listeners make all the time.

This can increase the sense of spaciousness in static binaural renderings.

Control the yaw, pitch and roll applied to the sound field with the option to individually invert the rotation directions.

Perfect for aligning recorded audio with 3D videos.

Add small random oscillations to the scene when you are not using a head tracker.

This can help with externalization when rendering static binaural playback.

Control the yaw, pitch and roll by connecting to a head-tracker that sends OSC messages.

Allows you to interact with your immersive audio in real-time.

Yaw - rotate the Ambisonic signals around the z-axis (up/down axis).
Pitch - rotate the Ambisonic signals around the y-axis (left/right axis).
Roll - rotate the Ambisonic signals around the x-axis (front/back axis).
Flip Rotation Direction - Option to individually invert the rotation directions by clicking +/-.
Micro Head Movements - add small random rotations to you sound scene. This mimics the small involuntary head movements made even when we try to keep our heads totally still. The benefit is that it can improve externalisation when rendering to static binaural.
Update Rate - select how often the head tracker or micro head movements update. Lower values lead to more smoother more accurate rotations but require more CPU.
OSC Control - select which port is used to receive OSC messages from a third-party head tracker. You also have the option to display the incoming messages to allow for easy debugging.
Automatic Order Detection - Processing automatically matches the order of the input signal to optimise CPU usage when working with lower order signals. No need to manually select your ambisonic order.

aXRotate can process any order up to tenth-order Ambisonics, letting you work with the highest spatial resolution currently available*.

*Currently only possible in Reaper 7+ which allows for tracks with up to 128 channels.

Other DAWs are limited to seventh-order (Pro Tools Ultimate) or third-order (e.g. Cubase).
