Channel Limits in mcs.vst~

Jose K Sani's icon

Is there any channel limits for mcs.vst~ object considering the fact that almost all (ambisonic ) vst plugins are limited to 64 channels. I have to decode to a 68 speaker array and trying to use a ambisonic decoding plugin in max. The plugin is limited to 64 at the moment but I was wondering if the mcs.vst~ object as well is limited to 64?

yes, [vst~] has a limit of 64... because VST has.

not long ago VST had a limit of only 16 channels.

you can check if you create a copy of [vst~ 68 68]; it will come up having only 64 outputs.

sparta, iem, flux, kronlachner, ssa... all limited to 7th order.

64 is fine unless your format is french or something. :)

if somebody says he has more it must be either a hoax or it only applies to audiounit and standalone (like GRIS, which you could use with virtual drivers via dac/adc on mac)
