The Super Monitoring Tool
SuperMoTo is an open-source audio plugin (VST3, AU and Standalone) that puts a studio's monitoring signal chain into one plugin instance. It is the big brother of MoTo.
From a single instance we can:
- route up to 32 inputs to 32 outputs (8 by default) through a full matrix, with per-crosspoint gain, 2-band EQ and polarity, and six configurations A..F switched or summed from the top bar;
- apply per-output trim, EQ, time-alignment delay and one FIR correction filter (zero-latency WDL convolution), with automatic inter-output latency compensation so speakers with filters of different lengths stay aligned;
- measure the loudspeakers in the room with built-in stimuli (sweep or band-limited noise), the raw speaker, the corrected one or the whole system;
- analyse those measurements and design the FIR correction curves (magnitude and phase), including phase-coherent subwoofer integration;
- align and correct a whole rig at once (several speakers plus a shared subwoofer) in the Group analysis mode;
- generate periphonic Ambisonics decoders up to third order, or import a decoding matrix exported by IEM's AllRADecoder.
Installation, building from source, the views and their controls, the measurement and correction workflow, the maths behind it can be found there:
- doc/SuperMoTo.pdf: the user manual.
- doc/paper.pdf: the paper describing the monitoring chain, the latency budget, the subwoofer phase alignment and the group alignment.
- doc/quickstart.pdf: a quickstart guide for anyone who wants to align a 2.1 monitoring system.
Every page of the plugin also has an info button (i) in its corner with a summary of that page's controls and shortcuts, and there is a full tooltip implementation.
AGPL-3.0-or-later, or commercial terms for holders of a commercial JUCE licence — see LICENSE.md for the details and the framework-free parts that stay LGPL-3.0-or-later (the Ambisonics decoding helper, the microphone calibration script, the manual and the paper).
The shared FX-Mechanics code is not in this repository: it lives in
FxmeTools, whose framework-free core/
half is LGPL-3.0-or-later and can be used without JUCE.
