Hi all,
I’d like to test out a mixed order system where I use hoa2d along the horizontal plane of a 3d dome to achieve more precise source localization, as I have a much denser speaker layout there. When I initialize [spat5.hoa.decoder~] i get a warning saying that:
the loudspeaker setup not is planar, which is inappropriate for 2D HOA decoding. Use at your own risk.
Ultimately, i’d like to keep things as simple as possible (i.e. avoid sending separate speaker configs and reassembling the output signal), so my plan was just to “zero-out” all of the non-xy plane channels of the resulting mc.signal and send it to the outputs. Is there any reason why this would not be a good idea (aside from being a bit computationally wasteful)? Thanks!
EDIT: i’m not in the lab now to test, but the output looks reasonable at least…
