If you are not afraid of highly experimental (and unfinished) software, you can try the next generation of the Audio Scene Description Format (ASDF), which I'm currently working on. It allows you to define 3D trajectories with a (somewhat) simple HTML synta= x. For documentation, see https://AudioSceneDescriptionFormat.readthedocs.io/ The format is independent of the playback software. One way to listen to the sound scene is via a Pure Data External I've implemented as part of the reference implementation: https://github.com/AudioSceneDescriptionFormat/asdf-rust/tree/master/pure-d= ata Another possibility is to use the SoundScape Renderer (SSR, http://spatialaudio.net/ssr/), but this is even more experimental. Here you'll have to check out a certain branch (https://github.com/SoundScapeRenderer/ssr/pull/155) which enables ASDF support. cheers, Matthias
