Speaker Distance-Amplitude Compensation
The ability to specify the individual speaker distance from the center of the listening area, allows decoding for speaker array configurations where the speakers are not equally distanced from the center of the listening area. With the currently available decoder plug-ins, if a speaker is moved away from the speaker array perimeter, the user must adjust the volume slider of the moved speaker to compensate for the volume change caused by the distance moved.

The plug-in allows the user to set the speaker’s distance from the center only, and the volume is automatically adjusted by the plug-in. If the volume of a speaker reaches the maximum, and its distance setting is further increased, the volume will not be increased. Instead the volume for all the other channels will be decreased accordingly. This prevents amplifiers and speakers from distorting, while maintaining an accurately volume balanced speaker array.

The distance sliders have a range of 0 to 10 meters with the default being 5. While the distance sliders affect the volume sliders, the volumes sliders do not affect the distance sliders.

Fully Adjustable Order-Balance Per Speaker
One way of implementing per-speaker order control, would be to add a slider for every speaker, with a range of zero to three. The slider would only be able to select values 0, 1, 2, or 3. If the user selected 2 for 2nd order then the variables for the third order processing of that channel would be set to zero. As a result processing would only include the channels of the zero, first, and second order of spherical harmonics.

However a second approach, and the one which was implemented is to add four sliders for all individual speakers, that control the order balance of each speaker. The sliders control the percentage of the zeroth, first, second, and third base. The user can now control the orders on a per speaker basis.

Features:

  • Fully adjustable per-speaker azimuth, elevation, distance, amplitude, order balance.
  • Global distance, amplitude, and order weighting.
  • 0th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order.
  • 14 preset speaker array configurations.
  • Up to 16 speakers.
  • Speaker distance-amplitude compensation.
  • 64 bit processing.

Azurite

Azurite free multi-fx | flanger | phaser | chorus | tremolo by Distorque

Azurite is a free multi fx and flanger and phaser and chorus and tremolo VST plugin developed by Distorque. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Azurite is a multi-voice chorus with a focus on rich sounds and versatile controls.

Unlike most choruses, Azurite allows for multiple simultaneous voices. Each of these voices has its own delay line that is modulated by a separate LFO. Adding multiple voices leads to a thicker, smoother, and less wobbly tone. It also makes vivid stereo spreading possible with a mono signal. The Voices control chooses how many voices the chorus uses: one, two, four, or eight.

Other main features:

  • Stereo or mono operation.
  • Colour control emulates vintage analog choruses.
  • 2-band EQ.
  • LFO tempo sync.
  • Feedback control allows for flanger sounds.
  • 27 built-in presets.
  • Delay time from 0.2ms to 200ms.
  • 7 LFO shapes: Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Ramp, Exponential, Inverse Exponential, and Random.
  • Spread control for stereo widening of a mono signal.
  • Control randomizer.
  • Other controls: Depth, Speed, Wet Mix, Output, Separation, Dry Delay.

Autospread Box

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

Autospread Box is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by Synthescience. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The Autospread Box is a Stereo Imaging processor which works by means off applying a small amount of delay into one of the audio channels, inverts it, and then adds some modulation to achieve its characteristic sound.

However it is relevant to state that this effect is only intended for stereo use and will work best on audio material with no relative difference between the left and right channels (for example any unprocessed sound where the sound in the left channel is exactly the same as in the right channel as in a dual mono signal). If you feed it with any kind of processed sound where the left channel sound content is different from that on the right channel, the resulting sound may be so subtle that could lead the user to think that its not there at all, but if one happens to turn the effect on and off, the difference will be noted.

Keep in mind that this is an effects processor that works on the subtle side of things but nevertheless it can impart some real vibes to your sound, as so experimentation is a must.

The Autospread Box is fully automatable and has the ability to store 32 presets. It ships with a few already pre programmed ones that will show what its all about and may be the starting point to your individual creations.

Installation procedure: Unzip the file, then copy the DLLs into your VstPlugins folder.
