3D Audio - CTXMatrix

Plugins

Dear Forum Members,

As a new member of this forum, I am pleased to introduce CTXMatrix, a complimentary VST3 plugin I have developed to enhance audio experiences based on Ambiophonics principles. In 2017, I mooted the idea here and finally I developed my own CTXMatrix which I hope can integrate with Volumio.

Initial feedback from Archimago highlights that CTXMatrix provides strong competition to uBACCH, with its audio quality comparable to a Blu-ray multichannel version. The plugin delivers a stable and robust 3D audio effect, performing effectively even with speakers positioned at a 60-degree angle, as noted by another user in comparison to uBACCH. While the most immersive 3D experience is achieved with narrowly angled speakers, CTXMatrix still offers a superior soundstage compared to traditional stereo setups, even for those who prefer not to adjust speaker placement.

I invite you to explore CTXMatrix and share your feedback, which will be invaluable in further refining the plugin. As a VST3 plugin, it is compatible with VST3-hosting media players such as JRiver or digital audio workstations (DAWs). For users of other media players, such as Roon, I recommend installing a DAW to route audio through it, enabling full control over the sound and integration of CTXMatrix.

Thank you in advance for trying CTXMatrix and providing your insights.

Best regards,
ST

Hey @STC,

Thank you for developing CTXMatrix and for considering integration with Volumio. The Ambiophonics approach sounds very interesting, and the positive feedback from Archimago and other users is encouraging.

To help the community explore and potentially integrate CTXMatrix with Volumio, could you share some additional information:

  1. Where can we download CTXMatrix to try it?
  2. What platforms and systems does it support?
  3. How is it typically installed and configured?
  4. Are there any documentation or usage instructions available?

Understanding what you’ve created will help us assess how it might work within the Volumio ecosystem.

Thank you again for your contribution to the audio community.

Kind Regards,
