SpatStruments

The SpatStruments mini series brings together through a few plugins the essentials of what is offered by all Acousmodules: advanced integration of space with sound generation and processing, and total freedom in spatial configurations. They are also optimised for the most common immersive formats that can have up to 24 channels, which includes a good number of domes and acousmoniums, and covers all the multichannel formats associated with cinemas like 7.1.4 up to 22.2.

history

+

The SpatStruments grow out of the wider Acousmodules project, built by its developer since 2003 using SynthEdit and, by the project's own description, dedicated for over twenty years to integrating sound and space design as tightly as possible. The mini series was designed specifically to make that broader philosophy more approachable, gathering the essentials of the full Acousmodules catalogue into a smaller, more focused set of tools rather than the sometimes overwhelming range of the complete library. One of the series' instruments, SpatStrument SM24, was presented as part of the KVR Developer Challenge in 2023, and the whole SpatStruments range has continued to be refined and expanded since, alongside a broader 2022 update that brought the entire Acousmodules catalogue to 64-bit VST3 and AU formats after four years of development work.
