Libambix is a library of C routines for reading and writing files following the "ambix" (AMBIsonics eXchange) conventions.

Ambisonics is a periphonic (3D) surround sound technique, with a scalable spatial resolution (put simply: "the more audio channels you use, the better"). The ambix convention defines an extensible format for exchanging soundfiles containing Higher Order Ambisonics data.

This package contains a set of Pure Data (Pd) objects to interact with ambix-files: - [ambix_info]: information about ambix files - [ambix_read~]: play an ambix file (simple mode) - [ambix_readX~]: play an ambix file (extended mode) - [ambix_write~]: record an ambix file
