Defining an array of speakers all at once

panoramix
#1

Dear community,

Is there a way to define a circular array of 64 speakers and radius 1.75m all at once on Panoramix? The speakers are placed every 5.625º on the circle.

We have the same setup of speakers for the three buses (HOA, VBAP and WFS).

Thanks a lot!

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Yes. You can send the “/bus/1/speakers/aed [list of aed coordinates]” OSC message to Panoramix.
See the attached patcher as an example. Adapt to your needs. And send the message to all relevant busses.

Hope this helps,
T.

Hello T,

I will have a check.

Thanks a lot!

Daniel

Hello T,

If I have my Panoramix Patcher open (no matter if with buses created or not), your example patcher crashes and closes Max when I click on it.

No idea what the problem is. Should I maybe use spat5.osc.udpsend or it’s enough with the udpsend object you used?

I have the last package version, 5.3.8.

Thanks a lot!

Daniel

If the Panoramix Patcher is not open, I can see your example patcher works well and the status windows show it’s creating the speakers correctly.

#6

Hello Daniel,

That is strange.
Could you please send the crash log(s) and/or screen recording (to better understand the steps you’re doing) ? Any other information that could help find and fix this issue ?

I believe using udpsend is OK, but feel free to try with spat5.osc.udpsend.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
T.

Hi T,

Thanks for the super quick reply.

Attached two videos showing Panoramix (I just opened the default patcher, nothing changed) and your example patcher with messages for the 3 buses. Even if they are created or not the crash happens and Max closes when I click on the example patcher the button with the tag “click here”.

Thanks again!

I tried to send the crash log but I couldn’t find anything on the AppData\Roaming folder. I’m on Windows 11.

#9

Hum… Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the crash at the moment. I’m on Windows 10, so maybe that could explain the different behaviour (although I think it shouldn’t).
If you find any other relevant info, please let us know !

Getting back to your original problem, you can set the speaker coordinates all at once, without using the patch I sent (and which crashes on your computer).
Either save your Panoramix session and edit the txt file in a text editor, and set the “/bus/1/speakers/aed” lines as you wish. Or copy the "/speakers/aed [list of aed coordinates]” message from my patch, and paste it into the speaker UI of the bus of interest in Panoramix.

Best,
T.
