Hi, i'm working on a project which involves motion tracking (cv.jit) to control the output to a grid of speakers.

So far I'm using CV.jit to track a person's position. I have a sound generator and my outputs (speakers)

The speakers will be arranged in a 3x2 grid:

Now, depending on the user's position I want sound to play out of the speaker their head is currently closest to. I have managed to get it working very simply by dividing the resolution of the motion trackng camera's output, sorting this in some code which i've written and then sending it to a dac via a gate to select the which speaker to go to.

However using a gate results in a pop whenever it changes output and I also can't do any smooth panning.

When finished I want the system to know your location and play mainly out of the speaker in front of the user, but as they move closer to another speaker I'd like to to pan between, so technically i could have it coming out of up to 4 speakers at once

Could anyone point me towards any patches which do something similar? I've scanned the tutorials but can't find much.

O signifies the primary source
o is a filtered and quieter output
X is a speaker with no output. 

Could anyone point me towards any patches which do something similar? I've scanned the tutorials but can't find much.

Ok, so i've been fiddling around and this is what I've come up with, but there's an issue when on the middle position jumps around and i can't figure out what the correct way to do this is.
