A demo of SoundStroll.
(sound recorded in binaural stereo, you will need earphones to hear the binaural effect)

SoundStroll is a tool for placing sounds in an open 3D virtual landscape and triggering them as you take a stroll through your soundscape.

SoundStroll exists as a MaxMSP project, which is to say a set of MaxMSP patches ; as such it should be compatible with Windows and Mac OSX (made with Max 6.1.9 on OSX 10.6.8). It is intended to be free and open source (though one still needs to possess a MaxMSP 6 licence to modify the sources) under the terms of CreativeCommons Attribution-Non Commercial licence (cc by nc).
The shown example also uses the spatialisation tools from IRCAM, which are non-free nor open source. However, it is possible to easily adapt the system to any other spatialisation toolset available in MaxMSP ; and provided with the current distribution is a fully functionnal binaural engine using the free HOA library (which must be installed separately).

(You might notice occasional hiccups ; my video recording skills and setup are not that good.)

SoundStroll demo

SoundStroll is a kind of 3D audio sequencer. It is a tool for placing sounds in a virtual landscape (a very bare landscape) constructed with jitter OpenGL, and triggering them and spatializing them around you as you take a stroll in this virtual sound world.

Any kind of feedback will be appreciated. A possible lot of things might be half broken or badly programmed, but i want to believe it is usable by someone else than me at this point ! An attempt at tutorial is included, so fear not to enter this oddity.

That is exactly something I was looking for. I will use it to make a simulation of an installation I am working on. It will be great to have an example patch where I can show how the installation would sound. I will use this quite a lot I think. Thank you!

Nice to hear that ! Let me know how it works out
