HOLOPHONIX brings together the most iconic spatial audio algorithms, developed in collaboration with IRCAM, each with unique technical and artistic strengths.
Offered formats include WFS, HOA, VBAP/VBIP, Angular 2D, LBAP, KNN, as well as stereo and binaural modes.
Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) reconstructs natural wavefronts using loudspeaker arrays offering precise localization and stable imaging across the entire audience.
Higher-Order Ambisonics (HOA) distributes sound energy over all speakers, producing a diffuse, immersive field ideal for ambient textures and sonic fluidity.
Vector-Based Amplitude Panning (VBAP) uses angular vector calculations to direct sources between pairs or triplets of loudspeakers, offering high precision in circular layouts, but focusing primarily on direction.
KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors) is a flexible spatialization algorithm that distributes sound across the K loudspeakers closest to a virtual source, based on distance, enabling either focused or diffuse rendering.
With HOLOPHONIX, creators can mix and match these algorithms in real time, shaping space as a musical and narrative dimension.
HOLOPHONIX integrates a state-of-the-art 3D reverberation engine – combining the most advanced reverberation principles in a single, extraordinary tool. The system supports four complementary approaches: parametric, convolution, regenerative, and hybrid.
The parametric architecture features a powerful algorithmic engine based on Feedback Delay Networks (FDN), offering real-time control over direct sound, early reflections, and reverb tails – dynamically shaped by source position and perceptual cues.
The convolution engine renders high-resolution 3D impulse responses (IRs) from real acoustic spaces – such as churches, theaters, or concert halls – allowing audio to be processed as if it were played in those environments.
A hybrid engine merges convolution-based early reflections with FDN-based late fields – combining the spatial accuracy of measured acoustics with the flexibility and responsiveness of algorithmic synthesis, optimized for real-time use in live performance.
The regenerative engine enhances natural reverberation through finely tuned feedback loops between microphones and loudspeakers.
At the core of HOLOPHONIX lies a high-performance 3D audio engine designed for real-time spatial sound processing in the most demanding artistic and technical contexts.
Optimized for everything from individual workflows (stereo or binaural mixing) to large-scale loudspeaker arrays and complex signal routing, the engine ensures ultra-low-latency processing, high-resolution gain and delay management, and seamless support for hundreds of simultaneous sources.
This advanced engine is seamlessly integrated with a state-of-the-art graphical user interface – offering interactive 2D/3D spatial views, source grouping, real-time metering, and drag-and-drop routing. Designed for live and fixed installations, broadcast, post-production, or augmented music mixing, the GUI enables engineers, artists, and sound designers to shape space with precision and responsiveness.
From immersive mix creation to dynamic acoustic design, HOLOPHONIX delivers a transparent, scalable, and artistically empowering environment for spatial audio across every format and application.
HOLOPHONIX is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing audio workflows – from mixing consoles to DAWs and show control environments.
The system offers advanced interoperability with professional mixing desks, including Yamaha QL, CL, and DM series consoles, supporting automatic syncing of source parameters such as labels, gain, panning, and more.
Through OSC, HOLOSCORE VST3, or direct link protocols, HOLOPHONIX exchanges data in real time with tools like Ableton Live, REAPER, Logic Pro, Nuendo, and QLab.
An open Max for Live device is also available for tighter DAW integration. Unlike closed systems, HOLOPHONIX remains fully brand-agnostic – compatible with any loudspeaker setup, hardware controller, or audio platform.
Its ability to slot naturally into hybrid and complex infrastructures makes it a powerful, non-disruptive upgrade for professionals looking to evolve their audio practice without abandoning their existing tools.
