Holophonix-Chataigne-Module

An experimental Chataigne's Module to interact with Holophonix spatial audio processor.

Main purpose is to create Cues(or scenes) of tracks 3D positions(XYZ or AED) and Gains to reload them similar a lighting Cues logic.

Installation

To install the Custom Module, download and unzip the files to your Documents/Chataigne/Modules folder.

First Steps

• Add an Holophonix module instance (pick it in "Spatial Audio" category").
• Specify your local OSC receiving port.
• Specify IP address and OSC port of your Holophonix processor.
• Specify Tracks IDs to add, accepted formats are:
  • single number (ex: 9)
  • range of numbers (ex: 5-15)
  • list of numbers (ex: 3,12,89,45)

How of use it!

• In "Rec Mode", you can record/reload/update or delete Global Cues (XYZ,AED and Gain values).
• If you don't specify a custom name for new created Cue, "Cue" + number is set by default.
• Be sure to send a "Request" about XYZ,AED and Gain values to Holophonix processor BEFORE record or update a Cue (manually or automatically)
• "Create Cue" generates associated Cue (consequences TRUE of Cues). You can use these triggers to reload Cues.
• To reload Cues you've got to uncheck "Rec Mode" before to avoid I/O data's loop, it disables OSC input and set AED or XYZ and Gain Outputs as active.
• BE CAREFUL! You've got to choose which kind of states you stay activated between "XYZ Outputs" and "AED Outputs". Send both kind of coordinates simultaneously is not really recommended.
• You can also set custom interpolation's curves and times per-track if needed (Default is set to "Bezier" and "5 seconds").

Additional Features

You can automatically( with a "request rate" setting) or manually send "get" commands to the third within modules parameters :

• XYZ positions Request : for (x,y,z)cartesian coordinates
• AED positions Request : for (a,e,d) spherical coordinates
• Gain Request : for gains

You may also use Module Commands to send parameters to Holophonix processor :

• aed(sourceIndex, aed)
• xyz(sourceIndex, xyz)
• gain(sourceIndex, gain)

And send manually queries commands :

• getAED(sourceIndex)
• getXYZ(sourceIndex)
• getGain(sourceIndex)
