Have just uploaded to the FTP site a VST plugin to do ambiophonics.
At the moment just does the six mentioned encodings.

On a lot of recordings there is a big difference from ambiosonics decoding. One I tried it out on was The Music Of The X_Files. Track 6 contains chiming bells. The reverb through the rears was spectacular. Sounded good in Emigrator too, but was not quite as pronounced, and dropped off sooner.

Ambiophonics was produced as a way of producing true 5.1 from the information in an WXYZ file. This file contains the inforamtion needed for decoding
X = Front back
y = Left right
z = Up down (when included)
w = pressure signal (basicaly the input sound at -3db.

Any suggestions improvements etc. Let me know.

On another note, I have just got Roomverb M2 from www.spinaudio.com
Putting it between the input signal and B-Proc produces very good results. This is a very good reverb engine that as heaps of presets and full control over every setting. Some recordings are really brought to life. There is a demo avaliable.
