Joseph Anderson and the ATK collaborators have formally launched the ATK. The Ambisonic Tool Kit brings together a number of classic novel tools for the artist working with Ambisonic surround sound.

The ATK toolset has been gathered, authored and developed by Joseph Anderson over a number of years, and is now a collaborative open source (GLP) project.

Supported by 53 pages of help files, the ATK enables the user to ‘think Ambisonic.’ Empowering the artist to address the impression and imaging of a soundfield – taking advantage of the native soundfield kernel paradigm the Ambisonic technique presents.
