This plugin takes a surround mix prepared for a Hamasaki 22.2 system and converts it to seventh order ambisonics (O7A).

The channel ordering used is:

The plugin is available in the O7A Upmixers plugin library.

Two modes are supported, "Inferred" and "Virtual". Generally, "Inferred" is recommended.

Mode	Description
Inferred	This mode is optimised for use with material that has been mixed using conventional panning techniques, such as equal-power panning or VBAP. The approach produces smooth transitions when sounds pass between speaker locations.
Virtual	This mode simply places each of the main (non-LFE) audio channels in their appropriate speaker direction. This can be worth trying when the mix has not been put together by conventional panning and the channels have a complex phase relationship.

Audio from the LFE channels can be mixed into the output by setting this dial. It is added to the stream as an omnidirectional signal.
