m1-panner

GUI and plugin concept for Mach1Encode API

AAX requires AAX SDK 2.5.1 or higher

Modes

The M1-Panner can be compiled into two "modes"

1. Multichannel Internal Spatial Audio Processing: The spatial audio is processed within the M1-Panner instance internally but is only supported in plugin hosts that support multichannel input/output
   • Multichannel Internal Processing: CUSTOM_CHANNEL_LAYOUT: This mode is for plugin hosts that do not support changing the input/output bussing to the plugin after it has already been instantiated.
   • Multichannel Internal Processing: This mode is for plugin hosts that can handle changing the input/output bussing and exposes the parameters/UI for managing changing the input/output layouts of the plugin
2. Streaming External Spatial Audio Processing: The spatial audio is processed externally and the M1-Panner is compiled with the needed parameters/UI for indicating to the external processor what the expected I/O is, this is intended for plugin hosts that only support up to stereo audio I/O for plugins.
   • Streaming External Processing: This is the preprocessor definition needed to activate this mode

Compiler Options

It is recommended to compile production plugins via CMake style, all example commands will be supplied at the bottom of this section

WARNING: When changing the compiler options make sure to clean the build folder

CUSTOM_CHANNEL_LAYOUT

CMake

• Add as a preprocess definition via -DCUSTOM_CHANNEL_LAYOUT and also define the INPUTS and OUTPUTS

Example: -DCUSTOM_CHANNEL_LAYOUT=1 -DINPUTS=1 -DOUTPUTS=8

ITD_PARAMETERS

Enables the Interaural Time Difference processing parameters for the M1-Panner for simulating creative headshadowing effects while panning.

CMake

• Add as a preprocess definition via -DITD_PARAMETERS

Examples

• MacOS setup M1-Panner

cmake -Bbuild -G "Xcode" -DBUILD_VST3=ON -DBUILD_AAX=ON -DBUILD_AU=ON -DBUILD_VST=ON -DVST2_PATH="/Users/[USERNAME]/SDKs/VST_SDK_vst2/VST2_SDK" -DBUILD_UNITY=ON -DBUILD_STANDALONE=ON

• Ninja (Crossplatform)

cmake -Bbuild -G "Ninja" -DBUILD_VST3=ON -DBUILD_AAX=ON -DBUILD_AU=ON -DBUILD_UNITY=ON -DBUILD_STANDALONE=ON

• MacOS setup & compile M1-Panner with specific I/O:

cmake -Bbuild_i1o8 -G "Xcode" -DBUILD_WITH_CUSTOM_CHANNEL_LAYOUT=1 -DINPUTS=1 -DOUTPUTS=8 -DBUILD_VST2=1 -DVST2_PATH="/Users/[USERNAME]/SDKs/VST_SDK_vst2/VST2_SDK"
cmake --build build_i1o8 --config Release
