The new Acoustic Positioner offers a proprietary algorithmic instrument positioning that relies on the acoustic properties of the recording space. It offers true positioning capabilities without relying on convolution and panning mock-ups. The engine is based on specific microphone arrays and placement that allowed HandHeldSound to create a comprehensive time and phase matrix that is entirely sample-based.
Playability and humanization are greatly enhanced through custom scripting to control velocity, extended techniques, Trills, Rolls, Glissandi, and multi mallet playing styles.
