Hi there !
First, let me say that it is a real pleasure to see product such as the Dwarf and all the Mod catalog ! Also, I was very unsure of the category to post to. So, hopefully, I’ll not be too wrong.
Ok so I have one project that will be touring with an immersive PA system (8 channels + 4 subs if I remember correctly). The whole idea is also for the musicians to provide a certain amount of ideas that will feed this immersive concept.
At this point, I have developped two little algorithms:
- One rotary speaker thing, where I have defined three speaker that can rotate independently, so the effect has three output channels.
- One delay/reverb thing, which is simply a 4x4 FDN which can output each channels, so its four more !
Both of this things can be easily (more or less 
) put inside the dwarf thanks to Faust and the Mod Cloud Builder.
Where things gets complicated is that the hardware I/O of the dwarf are only stereo. So what is possible to do with Jack and the Dwarf to solve this ?
I had two idea:
- Using an external audio interface, plugged in USB that I can use for output only.
- Another nice thing would be to use something like an AES67 driver to stream the audio on the network. I would say that this sounds like the most interesting option ! Also, this project offer an easy path to set this up : GitHub - bondagit/aes67-linux-daemon: AES67 Linux Daemon with configuration WebUI .
So, ideally, I’d like to keep the analog output as a “mixed down” version of all the multichannel stuff, and eight additional output for “discret” effects output, hopefully using an AoIP approach.
Note that I’ll be more than happy to have any input that may approach the problem from another point of view (like using a computer for the spatial stuff, or anything really).
Thanks !
