bformenc

bformenc — Deprecated. Codes a signal into the ambisonic B format.

Description

Codes a signal into the ambisonic B format. Note that this opcode is deprecated as it is inaccurate, and is replaced by the much better opcode bformenc1 which replicates all the important features; also note that the gain arguments are not available in bformenc1.

Syntax

aw, ax, ay, az bformenc asig, kalpha, kbeta, kord0, kord1
aw, ax, ay, az, ar, as, at, au, av bformenc asig, kalpha, kbeta, \
      kord0, kord1 , kord2
aw, ax, ay, az, ar, as, at, au, av, ak, al, am, an, ao, ap, aq bformenc \
      asig, kalpha, kbeta, kord0, kord1, kord2, kord3

Performance

aw, ax, ay, ... -- output cells of the B format.

asig -- input signal.

kalpha –- azimuth angle in degrees (clockwise).

kbeta -- altitude angle in degrees.

kord0 -- linear gain of the zero order B format.

kord1 -- linear gain of the first order B format.

kord2 -- linear gain of the second order B format.

kord3 -- linear gain of the third order B format.

Example
