Just started digging around Google's Resonance Audio for Unity and it has promise in headphones.
But I am interested in using for a speaker setup. I have an ambisonic decoder interface and a speaker array that takes b-format signals. Is there a way to output a 4-channel / b-format signal directly from Unity so I can monitor Resonance's soundfield in loudspeakers?
At the moment, using SuperCollider / ATK with Unity via OSC for a custom sound engine to allow ambisonic playback in a speaker array. Works well, but would like to take advantage Google's new tools.
Outputting a 4-channel b-format signal directly from Unity using the Resonance Audio SDK is only supported when saving directly to a file (.ogg). Streaming the signal directly from Unity to an external ambisonic decoder interface is not currently supported.
If you are interested in the option to record a scene in ambisonic format and save to a file, there are some scripting functions labeled "SoundfieldRecorder" that may help automate the monitoring process, e.g. saving to a custom file path. Ambisonic soundfield recording can also be done manually using the Resoncance Audio Listener component in Unity, which has a Soundfield Recorder UI button to start and stop/save a recording.
