Gravity Data Feed for IRCAM Spat and Panoramix
OSC control of Spat and Panoramix sources, and ToscA for DAW automation.
This guide explains how Spatial9 Gravity Data Feed relates to IRCAM Spat and Panoramix. Status: documented route, no profile yet. Spat and Panoramix are fully controllable over OSC, and IRCAM's ToscA plugin bridges DAW automation and OSC, but Gravity Data Feed has no Spat profile.

Planned route
- Choose the coordinate system your Spat or Panoramix session uses for source positions.
- Convert Gravity Data Feed degrees (positive azimuth is left, 0 is front) to that system.
- Send positions over OSC from an adapter, or write DAW automation that ToscA forwards as OSC.
- Run a fixture test and publish a profile with its status.
What you can do today
Request plans in the playground or over the API and apply them to Spat sources by hand or with your own OSC script.
FAQ
Is ToscA required?
No. It is useful when you want plans written as DAW automation. An adapter can also send OSC straight to Spat.
Does Spat support distance?
Spat models distance. Gravity Data Feed returns distance changes, and a profile would map them once tested.
