Questions about KNN panning mode

Hello,

Is there a time smoothing setting in KNN panning mode to avoid sudden cuts of loudspeakers when a sound is moving? I can’t find anything related in the reference.

Also, is there any tutorial dedicated to KNN?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

The message is /ramp/time [value in milliseconds].
To avoid sudden variations, you should also increase the number of used neighboring loudspeakers (message /neighbors).

Best,
T.

It would be nice if ramp time could be set with a different value for increases and decreases, like slew limiters on modular synthesizers.

I am not totally convinced that this would be so helpful… But why not.
I’ll add that request to my todo-list, although to be honest it will be low-priority.

PS : at least for experiments/prototyping, it should be possible to implement that yourself, in a patch, using spat5.pan (without tilda) to compute the speaker gains + line~ or matrix~

Best,
T.
