[maxmsp] Surround sound/Panning in Max

Hello Larry,

For Ambisonics surround I recommend our ICST Ambisonics objects.

They available here:
http://www.icst.net/downloads/

For more information the theory of Ambisonics read this primer:
http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/mustech/3d_audio/ambis2.htm

The ICST Ambisonics externals are also integrated into Jamoma  
modules, a modular standard for MaxMSP Jitter.

In many situations vbap can also be an absolutely viable solution.

Cheers
