Xp for Live: latest news and future insight of the 3d audio environment for Ableton Live (using spat~) - Fraction (Eric Raynaud)

Two years after its release, Xp for Live (Xp4l), a 3D audio design interface for Ableton utilizing Spat, has firmly established itself in a diverse and growing community spanning media arts to sound enthusiasts. In the Ircam Forum session, I'll provide a tour and demonstration of the latest version, Xp 1.20. Additionally, I'll explore the Xp.iko project, an adapted version tailored for Sonible's Iko emblematic loudspeaker, currently undergoing collaboration with Spaes Lab Studio in Berlin and using Ircam Spat library as well. We'll examine potential future enhancements for the tool, offering insights into the exciting developments shaping the future of Xp.
