I am trying to create simple ambisonics file using encoder from HOA library. Below is my patch, am I doing it right?
I am not sure about channels order. Does this encoder outputs only WYX (in this order), because Z = 0 (elevation=0)?

encode_to_amb.pd

Thought that for standard path it's not necessary.
Now works, thanks.

Hi,
I've copied right version of hoa.library.pd_linux and c.library.pd_linux from externals (Linux 64) to main dir. Copied both folders to /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra because there are my packages and add -lib hoa.library -lib c.library to startup preferences.
On startup I get:
c.library: can't load c.library
hoa.library: can't load hoa.library

or one is loading and other not. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot, this is a great example. It's give me idea about a few things I was wondering how to do.

Really thanks to @gsagostinho and @rjp9, now I think I'll be able to complete my patch.

I have had loading already in a patch, forgot to bang tabplay.
This is what I get so far

but can I do this without looping (e.g after clicking switch_pair stop all sounds and start only 2 of them)? What flaws has looping approach? Could it make some lags or increase cpu usage?

With [earplug~] it was my mistake, I understand that now.

This really helps, but i need arrays. There is a problem [tabread~] seems to not work with [multiplex~].

Sound files are loaded I've checked that. Does [tabread~] read all array? I've tried to connect it to [tabplay~], but nothing happened.

First multiplexer is left channel, second is right channel I will need to put both channels in new array to get 2-channel wav and send it to [tabplay~] and pass to [earplug~]. So there is 2nd question how to connect two single channel sources into one double channel output.

Hi,
I need something that loads 16 wavs (1-channel) and connect them in pairs and outputs a 2-channel audio. I want to choose (switch) which pair is going to output.
Is there a pd for the switching part? If not how I can do that?

How to load wavs into array, because I found how to loop sound with open and bang but I think it is not necessary to open file again.
