The first AcousModules appear
in 2003 with my discovery that Synthedit will allow me finally to have a solution
to most of my technical problems in
multichannel composition. The use of multichannel plugins has allowed to extend the functionnalities of a number of audio softwares in a way that multichannel creation has became nearly as easy to do than before stereophony (a chance, I am a PC user ! See the Multiphonie site for the presentation of the software environment for the multiphonic composition - sorry in French only).
I've
spent A LOT of time making these plugins, actually much more than using them, thus if my main purpose
is to have the tools to use in my personal compositions, I am very
happy to see that they can be also useful for other people.
I am very sorry to be a so bad English speaker and writer :-( |

Old news : Update of OS X versions that now show the GUI in Reaper. First versions of the AcousModules in STEREO ! New plugins in beta : AnimaSpat 7 and AnimaSpat 2D Since Sonicbirth has gone open-source, all the OS X versions are now given as freewares. The Surroundizer is now available ! New : the 3D MIDIGator is a little utility plugin that allows to use a SpaceNavigator as a 3D MIDI controller. |

The
AcousModules consitute a series of multichannel audio plugins, which must be used in a
true multichannel environment creation, i.e. to work with a listening setup comprising several speakers, typically 5, 8, 12, 18 or more… Therefore, before saying that “things does not work”, be sure that they correspond with the use which you wish to make. The plugins are available in the VST /VSTi format for Windows (all versions, can work under Linux, see below), and a few ones are available in the Audio Units and VST formats for Mac OS X. The AcousModules can be integrated in pacticaly all the existing multitrack and modular hosts... but attention, not all these software are able to use multichannel connections. So,
before everything, please verify that your audio softwares are
compatible with plugins that have more than two inputs / outputs on
this page. |

The plugins can be downloaded in the form of RAR archives for Windows (better compression) and ZIP for OS X. Installation
in Windows : simply copy the .dll file that you have downloaded (freeware versions)
or received by email (shareware versions) in the VstPlugins folder of
your application. Note for the users of Apple/Intel computers : since it is now possible to have a dual boot OS X / XP or to use virtualization
techniques (Parallels, DarWine...), you can
profit of all the softwares for Windows, which means all
the AcousModules and the appropriate hosts like Podium. Installation
in Mac OS X : Installation in Linux : |

After some attempts to have a users Forum dedicated to the AcousModules (the last being balanced by the loss of all the messages…), it is now the site KVR-Audio, well-known of the amateurs of plugins, which lodges a simple forum, but which should allow profitable exchanges… For
your questions and comments, rendez vous on the
FORUM

These plugins, and
consequently most of my recent personal work, could not have existed
without the marvellous software of Jeff Mc Clintock : SYNTHEDIT SynthEdit © 2002, Jeff McClintock - www.synthedit.com
