WFSCollider

Game Of Life Foundation

WFSCollider is a SuperCollider class library for Wave Field Synthesis spatialisation with a graphical timeline, trajectory editor, and modular Unit Library audio plug-in system. It supports point sources, plane waves, and per-speaker indexing, with sample-accurate scheduling across distributed servers, used in WFS composition and large-scale loudspeaker array performance.
