SPAT Devices by Music Unit
Music Unit produces the SPAT collection, Max For Live plugins distributed by Ableton.
SPAT plugins make it possible to arrange and move sound sources in real or virtual auditory spaces, in 2D or 3D, thanks to advanced spatialization engines, based on the Spatialiseur processor developed at IRCAM for nearly three decades. The plugins are offered in two packs: SPAT Multichannel and SPAT Stereo.
SPAT Devices is developed by Manuel Poletti from the Music Unit studio, using the SPAT Max library developed by the Acoustic and Cognitive Spaces - STMS team (Ircam, CNRS, Sorbonne University, French Ministry of Culture) and distributed by Ircam Amplify.

Max 7 Hang
2015/04/17
One week across five different cities we will introduce you to Max 7 and its creative possibilities.
Whether you’re a seasoned user or have only thought about downloading our 30-day demo, we want to hangout with you and talk about Max.
Not since the introduction of Max 5 has a new release included so many updates and changes. Max 7 introduces a new video engine, quicker patching via new objects and an entirely new time stretching algorithm built from the ground up. In addition, it’s now easier to drag and drop audio, video, VSTs and Max For Live devices directly into your patcher and be up and running.
Come for some swag, linger for refreshments, and stay for the people.
With Emmanuel Jourdan (Cycling ‘74 / e–j dev), Manuel Poletti (Cycling ‘74 / Music Unit)
