Hey, I'm trying to get a copy of this, but the site is down, do you have a direct link that I could use? Cheers.

I've been wondering for a long time what would be the main difference between for example the SPAT toolkit and HOA except for the reverb in SPAT? I've always thought HOA looks amazing but as a SPAT user I've never taken the plunge not knowing the differences. Thank you

https://github.com/CICM/HoaLibrary-Max/releases is the right place.

Hi ,

I would like to announce the release of a patch that corrects the semi-normalization 3D (SN3D) of the HOA library v2.2. The patch is available on the HOA library website. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

SN3D patch

All the best,

Kedar Shashidhar

The link for the HOA library is still down and the releases page on the github only contains the SN3D patch. Does anybody have a download of this ? Would rather not rebuild it manually.

Marc Doutrepont
