This site gives details of The Ambisonics Association and its work. The Association was created in April 2008, with the general aim of promoting ambisonics. Its initial work is concentrated in the (fairly technical) areas of the creation and promotion of collective marks ('trademarks'), standards (e.g. for file formats) and other necessary infrastructure for ambisonics.
Cosm is an integrated collection of extensions to Max/MSP/Jitter to assist the construction of navigable, sonified, complex virtual worlds, and has been designed to facilitate use in CAVE-like environments.

This library package provides several forward error correction (FEC) decoders and accelerated primitives useful in digital signal processing (DSP). Except for the Reed-Solomon codecs, these functions take full advantage of the MMX, SSE and SSE2 SIMD instruction sets on Intel/AMD IA-32 processors and the Altivec/VMX/Velocity Engine SIMD instruction set on the G4 and G5 PowerPC.
