The stage

Every Composer window shows the same stage: the room, the listener and all players - one per track with Composer on it.

Players and the listener

  • Drag a player to place it. Dragging another track's player changes that track, so automation is recorded where it belongs.
  • The listener is where you hear from. Moving it moves you, not the ensemble.
  • Room size (5-50 m) sets the stage; players and the listener stay inside it.
  • Player names come from your DAW's track names where the host shares them (VST3); with Audio Units, name players yourself.

Scenes A-H

A scene is an alternative layout of the whole ensemble: every player's position, the room and the listener. Switch scenes to compare arrangements - an unvisited scene starts as a copy of the current one. The Hall belongs to the scene as well.

Automation

Positions are ordinary plugin parameters (Player X/Y, Listener X/Y, Room size), so your DAW can record and play back movement.

One window at a time

A plugin can't close the DAW's windows, so when a Composer window is already open, another one shows "Composer is already open" with Open here anyway.
