Some examples how to connect with the ambisonic speaker system (OTTOsonics) at the Tangible Music Lab in Linz.

1. Driver installation

The system is using the AVB protocol via two Motu interfaces.
Install the driver here: https://motu.com/de/download/ (select interfaces, then the "24Ao" entry and chose your operating system.

2. Check Motu AVB settings (Mac OS)

Connect with the Interface via USB and open the Motu Discovery app. An interface called "Interface" should appear. TODO: Describe necessary settings in the configuration interface

3. Run the code from Supercollider

First you need to install the Ambisonic Toolkit for Supercollider. Installing the ATK requires Git to be installed on your computer.
