Vector Base Intensity Panning (VBIP) /bus/{i}
The root OSC message for controlling a VBIP bus is /bus/{index}, where {index} is an integer starting from 1. To control any of the parameters listed below, you need to append the parameter name to the bus target address.
For example:
/bus/1/spread 50- Sets the spread factor to 50%
VBIP is a method for positioning virtual sound sources using a loudspeaker array. It calculates gains for each speaker based on the desired source position using vector bases.
