Gravity Feed for L-ISA

How plans relate to L-Acoustics L-ISA and why its pan needs a tested conversion.

This guide explains how Spatial9 Gravity Feed relates to L-Acoustics L-ISA. Status: documented route, no profile yet. L-ISA Controller and L-ISA Studio document OSC control of sources, and L-ISA provides DAW plugins for source control, but Gravity Feed has no L-ISA profile.

Why L-ISA needs its own conversion

L-ISA describes positions with its own parameters, such as pan across the frontal system, width, distance and elevation. Pan is not an azimuth in degrees, so converting a Gravity Feed azimuth to L-ISA pan depends on the speaker layout. A profile must define that conversion and pass a fixture test before it can be marked verified.

What you can do today

  • Request plans in the playground or over the API and use the left-to-right order, depth and height as a guide.
  • Apply the positions in L-ISA by hand.

FAQ

Can Gravity Feed move L-ISA sources live?

Not yet. Live writing needs a verified profile and an adapter, and live use carries more risk than studio use.

Will a profile be added?

L-ISA is on the candidate list. Its status will change on this page when a profile is published.
