NAME

       ambix-interleave - AMBIsonics eXchange utility

SYNOPSIS

       ambix-interleave -o outfile [options] infile1...

DESCRIPTION

       Merges several audio files into an ambix file

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              print this help

       -o, --output
              output filename

       -O, --order
              force ambisonics order (default: autodetect)

       -X, --matrix
              specify adaptor matrix file or a predefined matrix ('FuMa', 'n3d|sid', 'n3d' or 'sid')

       -b, --blocksize
              blocksize for copying (default: 1024)

       In it's simplest form, you pass it a number of input files, the accumulated channels of which form a full
       3d  ambisonics  set  (channel #0 becomes the W-channel,...).  The ambisonics order is calculated from the
       number of channels using N=(O+1)^2.

       If you specify the 'order', then all extranous channels will be stored as 'extra' channels.

       You can also write extended ambix files, by specifying an adaptor matrix (either a soundfile,  where  the
       channels  are  read as rows and the frames as columns, or by specifying one of the standard matrices), in
       which case the columns of the matrix define the number of (reduced) ambisonics  channels  read  from  the
       input and the rows of the matrix must form a full 3d ambisonics set.  Input channels exceeding the number
       of matrix columns are stored as 'extra' channels.
