FAUST award 2016

[:fr]Congratulations to Pierre Lecomte that has been awarded at the FAUST Open Source Software Competition 2016 !

The Faust Open Source Software Competition aims at promoting innovative high-quality free audio software developed with Faust, a functional programming language for realtime signal processing and sound synthesis. The competition is sponsored by GRAME, Centre National de Création Musicale Faust Award 2016 to Ambitools The Faust Award 2016 was attributed by an international committee composed of :

  • Jean-Louis Giavitto (IRCAM, Paris, France),
  • Albert Graef (Johannes Gutenberg U., Mainz, Germany),
  • Pierre Jouvelot (Ecole des Mines, Paris, France),
  • Victor Lazzarini (Maynooth U., Maynooth, Ireland),
  • Romain Michon (Stanford U., Palo Alto, USA)
  • Yann Orlarey (GRAME, Lyon, France),
  • Dave Phillips (musician, journalist, and educator, USA)
  • Laurent Pottier (U. Jean Monnet, Saint-Etienne, France),
  • Julius Smith (Stanford U., Palo Alto, USA)

to Ambitools, a set of tools for real-time 3D sound field synthesis using higher order ambisonics (HOA). Ambitools is developed by Pierre Lecomte, a PhD candidate at Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers and Sherbrooke University. The core of the sound processing is written in Faust. The tools contain HOA encoders, decoders, binaural-filters, HOA signals transformations, spherical VU-Meter, etc. and can be compiled in various plug-ins format under Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. The jury praised the quality and the usefulness of Ambitools: a really useful and technically advanced Faust appand an impressive technical achievement !
