I/O Channel Configurations

Speaker Order

In some DAWs, automatic routing features may inadvertently change channel settings. If this happens, channels may be assigned in a different order than the one shown in the table below. In such cases, please use the channel configuration functions of your DAW or tools like Sound Particles AudioMatrix to correctly reassign the channels.

Ambisonic Format

These formats are not available in the Lite Edition. Today, it is recommended to use the unmarked ambisonic channel configs in most cases. You will rarely need to use the legacy format, FuMa.
