I'm having a journey of discovery here with Ambdec, and i've made some
presets of sorts, that are at least....unique (Humour to the fore.)
A quick question.
For a medium orchestra template driven by Lsampler, with 60 outs (30 stereo
pairs), will i need multiple instances of Ambdec? (As a coarse experiment,
10)
Or am i approaching this from the wrong direction?
I've been poring over the manual, and some online reference material, and
get the impression, for a complete orchestral template, that i'll need more
than one app/preset/image, as part of building a complete orchestral
soundscape.

probably.
in an ambisonic listening system, ambdec's job is to *render* the
b-format signal as appropriate for your speaker layout.
hence, there will only be a single ambdec instance and configuration for
any given speaker layout.
i'm not sure i understand what you do with your 60 stereo pairs, but you
will probably want to mix them into a b-format master bus, using an
ambisonic stereo panner. listen closely for comb filtering, though, if
you ever end up putting the two signals of a stereo pair very close
together. coincident stereo works best here.

Jorn, you've just answered another question i had about speaker
configuration as well.
Thanks for the info.
Back to the books.

What's coincident stereo?
coincident means that the signal was obtained with two directional
microphones which are in the same spot. that means there is no time
difference between them, so you can mix them down to mono if you want,
without wrecking your sound with comb filtering effects.
also called XY stereo, as opposed to AB stereo, where two mikes (most
commonly omnis) are spaced apart and the stereo effect is caused by time
differences only.
combinations of the two (spaced and directional microphones) are also
used frequently - google for NOS or ORTF microphone patterns.
