How about this:

It would probably be pretty hard to do, but imagine how awesome it would be!

I'm looking for a free 3D positionning VST plugin :
Something in between NDCtrem+ (but not only stereo left/right, but also "in front/behind") and Mda ROundpan (but with a wet/dry option, an amplitude option, maybe tempo-sync...) ;
I like the way echographz can put a delay effect in space, but i don't want delay, and i would like the sound to move...
DOes something like that exist ?

Yes, i have been posting the same thing in 2 forums... i think it can suit both... ?
Prodyspace places the sound in space, but it doesn't give the ability to make it move automatically...

Not to mention it's far different than the realism you can attain using holophonic sound. Read up on it, if not already, and you'll see how awesome it is.

Panorama allows you to assign controllers to left/right, back/front, AND vertical position. It's not free, but well worth the price

Wow, that first helicopter circling MP3 is REALLY good! Thanks for the link.

Okay guys... my first binaural VST effect test.

The mad scientist (with apparently muddy shoes) walks about in his laboratory (pronounced luh-BORE-uh-tory):

Sorry about the background fuzz, it's not the actual footsteps recording, but when I later recorded the movement live using my VST I had it turned way down. But I'll just say that I purposefully added the background noise so nobody would steal the footstep sounds.

Have you tried listening to that ? : http://www.stighammond.com/watson/2006/ ... _mp3_.html

Sound goes up and down !

Yup, that's one of the more famous examples.

I'm working on the up/down movement now, but all the lateral movement is pretty much happening.

By the way, you probably have to listen to my MP3 demo in headphones. I didn't put in any noise cancellation in there to account for speakers...

Headphones are pretty much your 3D glasses in the sense that whatever gets played in the left channel gets nearly exclusively heard by the left ear--which makes effects like interaural time difference work to convince you where the sound is coming from.

That's pretty damn good actually. Is this a custom plugin you are making then?

Yeah, from scratch. Needs some tweaking and stuff. Like I said, it would be great to implement the vertical axis--working on that now. But as far as lateral movement it's sounding pretty good. Might need a little more work when the sound goes behind you though, and I'm also putting in some room-modeled reverb to increase realism.

Here's an idea for a VST effect...
