Adamson Systems Engineering has announced two new tools for the Fletcher Machine sound spatialization platform, including the Virtual Adamson Fletcher Machine (vAFM) and Adamson Fletcher Machine VST Control plugin.
Virtual Adamson Fletcher Machine (vAFM) is intended to acquaint users with the sound spatialization platform while the Fletcher Machine VST Control plugin connects a DAW to an AFM via the Remote software.
The new Virtual Adamson Fletcher Machine (vAFM) and Adamson Fletcher Machine VST Control plugin are available for download from the company website.
vAFM connects with Adamson Fletcher Machine (AFM) Remote software to provide users with a Fletcher Machine experience without the requirement of a dedicated hardware engine (Stage or Traveler). Instead, users employ the audio I/O available on the computer the vAFM is installed on.
While being able to use much of what the AFM Remote software offers in terms of features like Object Trajectories and general mixing functions, the vAFM is limited to a maximum of 24 inputs and 12 outputs, has only two layers, no auxiliary sends, and an extended latency in comparison to the hardware models.
vAFM is intended to acquaint users with the performance and use of the AFM technology and can be used in educational applications or as a demonstration tool for further exploration with larger loudspeaker setups and more complicated configurations.
Suitable for any digital audio workstation (DAW) that employs VST plugins, the Adamson Fletcher Machine VST Control connects the user’s DAW to an AFM via the Remote software. The connected AFM could be any one of a Stage Unit, a Traveler Model, or the new vAFM.
It allows users to directly control certain object parameters like positioning and layer selection from within their DAW. Multiple instances of the AFM VST Control can be activated within the DAW giving the user additional objects to control, limited only by their number of objects and the AFM being in use.
Both new offerings are available to download now from the company website and are free.
