Huron & SNAP Documentation

Other Simulation Tools
This sub-section describes the other simulation tools provided
by Lake Technology for their Huron systems.
These tools can be used in association with other VRack
applications to provide an enormous range of sound processing
configurations. Some of the more commonly used
configurations are described below:
Locator: used to send positional information for sound objects
in AniScape, MultiScape, and Space Array simulations. In
addition, it provides a simple scripting interface through which
rooms and acoustic spaces can be configured in AniScape,
MultiScape, and Space Array. The Locator can also be used to
load, associate, and play wavetable sounds through the
WavePlayer application. Finally, the Locator provides facilities
for sending MIDI messages and program control messages to
the Convolver.
WavePlayer-2: An enhanced version of WavePlayer featuring
large sample playback and zero DSP load.
WavePlayer: primarily used in AniScape, MultiScape, and
Space Array simulations, and provides a facility for playing
*.WAV files (converted to the *.SIM file format) to be used as
input to other applications.
Tracker: primarily used in headtracking applications such as
HeadScape. It can also be used to position sound objects in
AniScape, MultiScape, or Space Array simulations, or be used
to input trajectories into Sonic Animator.
Socket: when used in conjunction with the SNAP Spatial
Network Audio Protocol, the Socket interface can be used to
control almost every aspect of a Huron from a remote
workstation.
Makeroom: The make room utility is a stand-alone Windows
application with the ability to create room impulse response
filters for use in Convolver, AniScape, MultiScape, and Space
Array simulations.
