Hi,
I would like to use Spat to play files recorded with soundfield microphone (bformat, 4 tracks) and decode them as an xy pair. Then I’d like to control the position and orientation of the xy pair. Although the doc and example patches are pretty clear about ambisonic encoding and combined encoding/decoding (spat.tut.04-Ambisonic), I’m not 100% sure about decoding only and could not find anything in the discussion about that.
What I would do is something like this patch:

Is that correct for what I intend?
What is the effect of the 8 channels between spat.decoder~ and spat.pan~? Is the number of channels important in-between them?
Is there a shortcut to do that with only 1 spat.spat~ object?
How do I control the xy pair? Maybe with the listener message to the spat.span~?
Thank you very much for any info!
Cheers,
Benjamin
