\"mcfx_meter32\"<\/a>mcfx is a suite of multichannel VST plug-ins for MacOS, Windows and Linux
(mcfx_convolver, mcfx_delay, mcfx_filter, mcfx_gain_delay, mcfx_meter)<\/p>\n

these plug-ins are very handy if you want to process multiple channels in one go for example
* multiple loudspeaker setups, Ambisonics (see ambiX<\/a>)
* Microphone array post productions (eg. Eigenmike\u00ae)
….\"mcfx_filter_screenshot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

currently high channel counts per track are only possible with the DAWs Reaper (Win, OSX) and Ardour (Linux, OSX)<\/p>\n

– channel count is configurable with compile time flag
– cross plattform VST for MacOSX, Windows and Linux
– uses the JUCE framework (www.juce.com)
– ready to use binaries for MacOSX (\u2265 10.7, 32\/64 bit, Apple Silicon) and Windows (32\/64 bit)\"mcfx_gain_delay_screenshot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here<\/a><\/strong> is a help file explaining the .conf files.
Note that you have to use ambix_converter<\/em> after the convolver and choose the preset .amb -> ambix<\/strong> in case you want to use those impulse responses\u00a0in combination with\u00a0ambix_decoder<\/em> or ambix_binaural<\/em>.<\/p>\n
