AMBISONICS EQUIVALENT PANNING
Martin Neukom, Jan C. Schacher · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2008
In Ambisonics sound is encoded and stored in multichannel sound files and is decoded for playback.In the en-and decoding process complicated functions are used.In this paper panning functions equivalent to the result of en-and decoding are presented which can be used for real-time panning in an arbitrary high ambisonic order.In the function equivalent to the socalled in-phase decoding the order of ambisonic resolution is just a variable that can be any positive number not restricted to integers and that can be changed during playback.The limitations and advantages of the technique are mentioned and real time applications are described.
