Space Controller Standard is a surround and immersive panning plugin by Sound Particles that pairs with a mobile device, using its motion sensors to place sounds where the device points.
Space Controller Standard is an effects plugin for surround and immersive mixing from Sound Particles. It is designed to be used together with a mobile device: the plugin works with a companion approach in which the device's motion sensors guide where a sound is placed in the mix. The developer says this makes it easier to move sources through a 3D space than adjusting knobs or joysticks. It supports stereo, binaural, FOA and 5.1 output, among others.
Sound Particles describes Space Controller as a way to pan sounds in surround and immersive formats by connecting a mobile device to your DAW and pointing it toward the desired position. The developer says its patent-pending technology makes this an efficient and intuitive method.
You can use an iPod touch instead of a phone, which the developer presents as a low-cost dedicated controller for a studio.
The plugin offers four modes: Mono, Dual, Rotation and Symmetric. Mono and Dual place and move each source independently, Rotation controls and rotates the whole sound field, and Symmetric can control the width of a 5.1 recording.
You can pan in Cube or Sphere mode, lock individual position parameters, and switch between top and rear views. Output options range from stereo and 5.1 to FOA and binaural, and the panner also supports Quad, LCR, 5.1.4, 7.1.6 and 11.1.8 layouts, among others. Dolby Atmos Objects automation can be copied and pasted.
