the multichannel panner in ardour should be ignored.
i'd like to find a
sponsor to support the development of a VBAP-based replacement. after
talking to several multichannel/surround people in berlin, it seems clear
that both ambisonics and VBAP have their roles. the ambisonics setup is
better done via ambdec because of the number and complexity of the
parameters, but VBAP could be done quite nicely inside ardour. its not
going to happen without someone raising a relatively significant amount of
money, or somebody else doing the work.
There are some VBAP plugins for SuperCollider available, made by Scott Wilson.
I'm sure that some of the source of those can be ported for Ardour... it may
even be worth contacting him and seeing if he can get one of his students
enthusiastic in porting them to Ardour.
