Special Assets for Spatial Audio

Currently, we support Max 8.6.0 and above, as well as Spat 5.2.0 and above.

Max is a programming language for music and sounds, it allows the user to carefully control and edit sounds to be used in the CRAIVE-Lab. Max 8 can be downloaded from here. Beginner friendly tutorials for Max 8 can be found through here.

Spat 5 is a package for Max 8 which allows it to be controlled better in the CRAIVE-Lab and can be downloaded from here.

A special asset for spatial audio has been developed for the CRAIVE-Lab. You can download it on our GitHub page.

A tutorial about using this package is coming soon. Stay tuned!
