01Overview

Space Controller Studio Educational is the student and faculty edition of Sound Particles' Space Controller Studio. The plugin pairs with a mobile device, using its motion sensors to move sources in a DAW. Panning in surround and immersive formats is harder with knobs or joysticks, so the motion-based approach is designed for faster, more intuitive placement. Sound Particles describes the technology as patent-pending. Sources can be panned from stereo up to formats such as 5.1, 7.1 and Dolby Atmos.

Panning Sources in Immersive Formats

Space Controller Studio sends each source's position to the plugin based on the orientation of your device. You can place and move each source independently in Mono mode, or use Dual, Rotation and Symmetric modes to handle the whole sound field or a 5.1 recording.

Size controls how wide each sound is. Larger sizes spread a sound across more speakers, while smaller sizes keep it on fewer speakers. Locks let you hold individual position parameters, as coordinates in Cube mode or as angles in Sphere mode.

You can choose Cube or Sphere panning, and switch between top and rear views for visual feedback on where a sound sits.

Supported Output Formats and Setup

The plugin offers a wide range of output options, from stereo and 5.1 to HOA, binaural, 7.1 and Dolby Atmos. It also includes layouts such as Quad, LCR, LCRS, 5.0.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.6 and 11.1.8. You can control the LFE channel and copy and paste automation to Dolby Atmos Objects.

For control, you can use an iPod touch instead of a phone. The connection supports up to 128 communication links. The plugin runs in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS, and works in 64-bit hosts.

Who It Suits

Space Controller Studio Educational is built for surround and immersive mixing, including home studios and mixing stages. Because the license is limited to full-time students and faculty at an educational institution, it suits learning environments where immersive mixing is taught or practiced.
