Gravity Feed for SpatGRIS
How plans relate to SpatGRIS and ControlGRIS in Dome and Cube modes.
This guide explains how Spatial9 Gravity Feed relates to SpatGRIS, the free spatialization software from GRIS at the Université de Montréal. Status: documented route, no profile yet. SpatGRIS receives source positions over OSC, usually from its ControlGRIS plugin in a DAW, but Gravity Feed has no SpatGRIS profile.
At a glance
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Status | Documented route; no Gravity Profile |
| Control routes | OSC to SpatGRIS, or automation of the ControlGRIS plugin |
| Modes | Dome (VBAP style) and Cube layouts |
| Cost | Free and open source |
Planned route
- Automate ControlGRIS's position parameters from a Gravity Feed plan, or send OSC to SpatGRIS directly.
- Confirm how ControlGRIS maps azimuth, elevation and distance in each mode, because Dome and Cube treat distance differently.
- 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, then apply the positions in ControlGRIS by hand.
FAQ
Is SpatGRIS a good first target?
Yes. It is free, documents OSC, and suits research and education, which makes fixture tests easy to share.
Does Gravity Feed need SpatGRIS to be running?
No. Gravity Feed plans without any plugin; SpatGRIS is only needed to hear and write the result.
