Sound Particles are well known for their CGI for audio solution but more recently they have expanded into range of panner plugins and Space Controller is the latest of these and gives you full control over your sound movement, directly from the palm of your hand, using a smartphone.
Space Controller from Sound Particles is a plugin for your DAW and an app for your phone, that together are designed to enable you to control where you want your sound to be positioned, simply by pointing your phone in the desired direction.
From traditional stereo to 7.1.2, through Ambisonics to binaural, you an use Space Controller to pan sounds in surround and immersive audio and even better, it’s fun to use! Nuno Fonseca founder and CEO of Sound Particles explains…
“We felt that using knobs, joysticks or even the mouse were not the best way to position sounds in 3D, so we searched for alternatives. Using a mobile phone makes the process straightforward - you simply point the device to the place where you want the sound to be positioned - easy, fast, precise and intuitive.”
