HoaNFDist | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

Higher Order Ambisonic signal (HOA) near-field effect (NFE) distance transformer.

Class Methods

HoaNFDist.ar(in, order)

Arguments:

in	The input signal.
order	Ambisonic order.

Discussion:

HoaNFDist translates an input HOA signal where refRadius = inf to refRadius = AtkHoa.refRadius.

This transform offers an HOA equivalent to FoaNFC where distance = AtkHoa.refRadius, in the first order case.

NOTE: This operation is required to import FOA or third party signals into the ATK's HOA with NFE signal set format.

Examples

Re-encode from FOA to HOA1 with NFE

// Inspect the ATK's speed of sound reference
"Speed of sound: % m/s".format(AtkHoa.speedOfSound);

// Inspect the ATK's reference radius
"Reference radius: % m".format(AtkHoa.refRadius);

// Inspect the ATK's channel/coefficient ordering
"Coefficient ordering: %".format(AtkHoa.ordering);

// Inspect the ATK's channel/coefficient ordering
"Coefficient normalisation: %".format(AtkHoa.normalisation);

// simple test...

// boot rt server
s.boot;

// choose Ambisonic order
~order = 1  // match FOA, first order!

// choose an outbus, if need be
~outbus = 0

// open scope
s.scope(~order.asHoaOrder.size, ~outbus);

// encoding angles
// azimuth & elevation
~theta = 0.0;
~phi = 0.0;

// explicitly set encoding radius
// i.e., radius != AtkHoa.refRadius
~encRadius = 2.0;  // > AtkHoa.refRadius
~encRadius = 1.5;  // = AtkHoa.refRadius
~encRadius = 1.0;  // < AtkHoa.refRadius

// audition
(
{
    // saw params
    var freq = 110.0;
    var gain = -12;

var sig;
    var foa;

sig = Saw.ar(freq, gain.dbamp);  // saw
    // sig = SinOsc.ar(freq, mul: gain.dbamp);  // sine

// FOA encoding, refRadius = inf
    foa = FoaProximity.ar(  // FOA radial encoding
        FoaPanB.ar(  // FOA angular encoding
            HPF.ar(sig, freq/3),  // precondition sig, i.e., "make safe" for proximity
            ~theta,
            ~phi
        ),
        ~encRadius
    );

// HOA re-encoding, refRadius = AtkHoa.refRadius (= 1.5)
    HoaNFDist.ar(
        HoaEncodeMatrix.ar(
            foa,
            HoaMatrixEncoder.newFormat(\fuma, ~order)  // from fuma to atk
        ),
        ~order
    );

// compare to direct HOA1 encoding
    // HoaEncodeDirection.ar(sig, ~theta, ~phi, ~encRadius, ~order);  // no need to precondition sig!

}.play(outbus: ~outbus)
)

// quit rt server
s.quit
