ORBIT

The binaural movement engine the whole family is born from. Place sound in real 3D, set it orbiting, fly it past — backed by physics.

// What it does

The deep engine.

ORBIT is the flagship: a full binaural spatial engine. Place a sound anywhere in 3D, set it orbiting, or fly it past with real Doppler. Headphones or speakers — always mono-safe.

The radar

Drag to place the source in 3D — angle and distance. The whole field on one screen.

Doppler

Bends the orbit eccentric: the source flies close then far, pitch rising and falling. A real fly-by.

Rate / Speed

Free, tempo-synced (1/4–1 bar), or Fixed placement. The orbit follows your track.

Chaos

Erratic, alien motion — darting speed and azimuth wobble.

Width / Room

Ear-shadow width plus decorrelated early reflections that push the sound outside your head.

Output / In Phase

Headphones or speakers (crosstalk-cancelled). IN PHASE guarantees mono.

// The physics

Real binaural, measured.

ORBIT is the conservative, pure binaural core — no tricks, just acoustics.

HRIR ring

A ring of head-related impulse responses, minimum-phase + ITD, moves the source without clicks.

Near-field

Under a meter, Duda–Martens proximity: bass bloom and asymmetric ear-shadow. The source gets intimate.

Real Doppler

Pitch emerges from propagation delay — zero latency, no pitch-shifter.

Externalization

Velvet-noise early reflections lower interaural coherence, so sound leaves your head.

Speakers (RACE)

Crosstalk cancellation for speakers, latency-free; IN PHASE drops it for mono.

True-peak safe

Stereo-linked limiter + true-peak ceiling — never clips, never breaks the image.

ORBIT is free. And open.

The whole catalog is free and open-source. ORBIT drops with the first transmission — get on the signal and you'll be first to know.
