These are some pinna-based binaural panning and mix-down Sounds (For best results, please listen over headphones).

There are some fun 360 degree panning and vertical (overhead) panning examples.

To mix down a multichannel Timeline to a binaural mix:

Set the Speaker Placement in the Preferences to be a kind of 'rotated quad' with a speaker directly in front, directly behind, hard left, and hard right.
Record your Timeline (saving it into four files, Front, Left, Right, Rear).
Feed the disk tracks into the 'Binaural Mix Down from Quad' (substituting the disk players or GenericSources? for the Constants in that Sound).
Then record 'Binaural Mix Down from Quad' to disk as a stereo file.

(I used this for mixing down Cyclonic—which depends on 360 degree panning for the tornado-effects—for a CD ).

Thanks Carla, sounds great. What about the other way, binaural to Quad, for those of us who need to compose for imagined 4 multispeaker, but only have two to compose on!?

Cristian, if you work in the Timeline, you can do all your work in stereo; then when it comes time to record, go to the Preferences>Speaker Positions and lie to Kyma, saying that you have a quad setup. Then record the Timeline and check the four boxes to indicate that you want to record four independent files, one for each of the four quad channels.

Indeed, I am recording in A-Format Ambisonic or Binaural these days - decoders for both would be great
