Thes main purpose of these plugins is to help to set up and to manage a multichannel loudspeakers environment (tests, calibrations, analyze, routing, bass management...), or to do conversions between nodal spatial formats.
Apart from the routers that can be used jointly or sometimes even instead of spatial processing plugins, these ones are usually placed on the monitoring or rendering chain of the host.

Up to 64 outputs test signals: arrange the numbered balls according to your speakers configuration (or import an "am3d" file) and Ctrl+Click on the channels numbers.
In Auto Mode you can select a specific range of outputs, the speed and the curve/direction of the cycle. And since localization can be very different according the sound's shape, you can use a continuous signal or an iterative one (with Rate and Decay parameters).
- place the speakers points in visual concordance with their spatial position (false perspective view)
- standard signal signals, a wave file can be used as the test source
- Continuous or Iterative mode with Rate and Decay settings
- Ctrl-Click on a point to generate/stop the signal
- automatic play in a selected channels Range, with Speed and Shape setting 
- import / export of the spatial configuration
Note : the Pink Noise source with the volume set at "-12dB" (peak value) matches the K-20 RMS level specs.

To do: direct switch without the need of a modifier key

Adjust the amplitude for each channel separately.
As in the other plugins from the "Spaced" series the only purpose of the pseudo-3D spatial view is to help to select the right sound's channel or speaker without having to relay exclusively on the channels numbers.
- up to 64 ins / outs (no change is made on the routing)
- Shift + Drag to adjust the gains in the +/- 18 dB range (there is no numerical indication but it is easy to see the approximate values)
- activate / mute each point by Ctrl + Click on it
- the spatial positions can be imported / exported with the other plugins of the series

Compact but efficient Bass Managers:
- 50 / 200 Hz crossover frequency range
- send level to up to 2/4 LFE for each input channel
- selectable crossover up to 36 dB/oct
- global Low Cut for all channels with selectable curve
- 4 (or 2) LFE outputs levels
The 18 channels version is in fact a "18.2" (20 outputs), the 36 a "36.4" (40 outputs) whereas the 64 channels version, due to the current bus limit in most hosts, can behave as a "63.1" to "60.4" one.

Known issue: changing the filters order can generate a high level clic, don't do it during playing...

S p a c e d R o u t e - R  &  - S

Available in two versions : in the "R" version you place the points corresponding to the speakers on the graphic and you choose what channel they receive. With the "S" version you place the sound's channels and choose to which outputs they must go.
The "R" is generally intended to be used on objects or tracks to place a sound in the spakers's space, while the "S" is more suited on the master section to adapt the space mapping to the hardware outputs.
The spatial layout is compatible with the other Spaced plugins.
See also the SpacedConvert which is in fact a SpacedRoute-S with two sends instead of one.

It is just a simple layout with the basic Synthedit's patch module, but it is nevertheless very useful and light on the CPU.
Attention, the 36 channels version needs that the screen's vertical resolution is at least 1080 pixels.
The main difference with SpacedRoute is that all input can be sent simultaneously to all outputs, and each output can receive simultaneously all the inputs:
- connection: grab and drop from one point to another one, or click on the first and then click on the second one
- disconnection: Alt+grab away from a point, or right-click on the wire and select "remove"

M u l t i R e c o r d e r - 6 4

A simple 64 channels audio recorder for hosts which do not have this option (like Element or Reflection Pro), or to insert between plugins to capture several aspects of a multichannel processing.
It can be used both for N-61 and N-64 formats.
- use the sample rate's host
- select 16, 24 or 32 bits
Attention: recording is done in RAM, 64 channels / 48 kHz / 24 bits = 528 MB for 1 minute!

Parallel fixed 18, 32 or 64 channels versions (they can work of course with less channels).
It can take some place on the screen, but this is not the kind of plugin that you need to have always in front of your eyes.
Nevertheless, I find it extremely useful in some specific stages of a work...

Known issues: sometimes it doesn't work... remove it and insert it again.

SpaceConverters are meant to convert a spatial format into another one, or to adapt one to a specific loudspeaker arrangement.
Outside simple surround layouts and spherical based ones, for which the conventionnal surround panners and the ambisonics coding/decoding process already take charge of it, we may need to adapt the spatial resolution of a work to a specific loudspeaker setup, or, for individual multichannel sounds, to make them matchthe composition space while keeping if possible their original shape and accuracy.
It is a technical process but it is also an aesthetic one that often requires to make choices that an algorithm cannot do for you ...

T r a n s S p a c e

Manual conversion between two up to 80 channels spaces, based on channels selection and energy constant diffusion for each input channel to up to four output channels. Mostly useful for volumetric spaces when there is important density differences, but suitable for any space as long as one needs to do human choices...

S p a c e C o n v e r t e r - L

This Layer Based converter has up to 64 inputs and outputs, but with a maximum limit of 25 inputs / speakers on up to four height layers.
Unless you need more than four really different levels, the advantage of a layered organization compared to a free "3D" one is that it can solve the difficult spatial balance between horizontal and vertical density of speakers, which arises at some point with every spatialization method. It means a little more work to do (select the inputs and outputs channels) but otherwise it is the best way I know to obtain what you want when the speakers' spatial arrangement can match this layers principle.
- 1 to 4 2D views for easy spatial settings
- 64 inputs and outputs gains to compensate for phantom behaviours (it is not automatically done, you have to measure or better to listen!)
- global Area setting for each layer
- Import/Export the spatial configurations with the other Layers plugins + separated layers (the 4L version provides only the separated layers)
- the 2L version has 64 I/O but a maximum of 50 can be used simultaneously

S p a c e C o n v e r t e r - 3 D

The "3D" version of the Space Converter is based on the usual 3D distance amplitude control, which works very well with networks speakers arrangements following a 2D or 3D grid layout, but can be more complicated to set with vey irregular or periphonic only ones.
The main advantage is that with complex height arragements the phantom positions can be set in the vertical axis too... even if this doesn't work very well from the hearing perspective.
- up to 64 inputs / outputs freely arranged in a 3D space
- Area setting for each output channel
- separate inputs and outputs gains for each channel (+/- 12 dB)

Because sometimes the visual spatial paradigm and its associated panning algorythms is not the better way to translate a loudspeakers space into another one. Each method impose some constraints and has some limits. It is generally easy and reliable when the arrangement is regular and symmetrical, but when the differences are too important, even DPAP and KNN methods can fail to give an acceptable result. 
In these (rare) cases, there is no other solution than adjusting the levels one by one straight in the channel domain. It may be a little longer but with enough patience you can obtain what you want without any risk of side effects.
This plugin provides 64 inputs, each one being sent on up to 4 simultaneous outputs selectable among 64. Since the inputs and the sends have their own level fader the spatial mass can be adjusted very precisely, allowing it to be used as a kind of multichannel mixer, an advanced router or even the ultimate spatialization tool ;-)

To do: show the values in dB

S p a c e E d i t o r   3 6 - 6 4

About half Acousmodules use a symbolic spatial representation of the speakers (or the inputs) positions in order to make some operations easier to do, or to allow to produce certain special effects. In all cases this kind of visualization is not meant to show the sound's space (which is something a lot more complex and subtil and must rely on hearing rather than seeing) but to configure the tools with efficiency.
In these plugins the spatial arrangement is done interactively and can be constantly modified according to the sounds and the user's intentions.
From january 2022 it is finally possible to export and import these layouts to share the raw spatial datas between different kinds of plugins -spatialization, effects, samplers, synthesizers and utilities- which can speed up their settings when they share the same speakers arrangement.
The SpaceEditor can edit these datas in a way that may be more suitable for people who like to enter coordinates manually, and it also allows to convert the files between the 36 and the 64 channels formats, allowing actually 96 plugins to exchange their spatial configurations!
A standalone version for Windows is also provided.

With its large views it ican be used as an editor for am64 spatial configurations, but it is more intended to help to communicate loudspeakers layouts from and to people who organize diffusions and concerts with specific loudspeakers arrangements.
It can show coordinates in normalized +/-1 XYZ values or in meters, according to grid presets up to 16 meters wide and 12 height. Origin can be set at the center but also freely to accommodate to measures.
