Shark Orbit 3D spatial engine interface

THE IDEA

Space you can see.
Movement you can control.

Set Azimuth, Elevation and Distance around the interactive spatial map, then shape Width, Focus and Room. Add Clockwise, Pendulum, Figure Eight or Random Drift motion with the main Orbit control. Binaural, Mono Safe, Gain Match, Delta and A/B/C keep immersive decisions practical on headphones and speakers.

WHAT IT GIVES YOU

Fast on top.
Deep underneath.

01

Position the source, not just the stereo image

Azimuth, Elevation and Distance work together to place sound around the listener, while the central map makes direction and depth immediately understandable.

02

Movement with a musical purpose

Four motion paths and a dedicated Orbit amount cover subtle animation, rhythmic travel and cinematic movement without forcing every source into constant motion.

03

A translation-safe spatial workflow

Binaural localization, Mono Safe, Gain Match, Delta, correlation feedback, A/B/C and 80 categorized presets keep creative space easy to trust.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Frequently asked
questions.

Clear answers about three-dimensional placement, motion, binaural depth, mono safety, presets, resizing and formats.

What is Shark Orbit designed to do?

Shark Orbit is a 3D spatial engine for placing and moving sound around the listener. It combines horizontal direction, elevation, distance, stereo width, focus, room context and controlled motion in one interface.

Can I use Orbit on vocals and instruments?

Yes. Orbit includes practical starting points for lead and backing vocals, guitars, keys and synths, drums and percussion, pads and cinematic sources, plus speaker-safe and creative categories.

What do Azimuth, Elevation and Distance control?

Azimuth places the source around the horizontal field, Elevation moves the image above or below the listener, and Distance changes perspective through level, air absorption and reflection cues.

How are Width, Focus and Room different?

Width controls the size of the positioned source. Focus moves from precise localization toward a softer field. Room adds early-reflection context and environmental depth.

What does the Orbit knob do?

Orbit sets the audible depth of spatial movement. Enable Motion, choose a path and rate, then raise Orbit until the movement supports the arrangement without pulling attention away from it.

Which motion paths are included?

The engine includes Clockwise, Pendulum, Figure Eight and Random Drift. These cover continuous circular movement, rhythmic side-to-side travel, crossing motion and slow evolving placement.

What is Binaural mode for?

Binaural mode adds interaural timing, level and head-shadow cues for stronger headphone localization. When speaker translation matters, audition the result on both headphones and monitors.

How does Mono Safe help?

Mono Safe constrains unstable stereo behavior and reduces dangerous side energy. It is especially useful with wide, distant or moving sources, although the final mix should still be checked in mono.

How many presets are included?

Orbit includes 80 factory presets across eight source and workflow categories. The browser supports search, favorites, user saving and double-click loading that closes the browser immediately.

Can I compare settings honestly?

Yes. Gain Match helps remove loudness bias, Delta lets you hear only the processed difference, Bypass compares the complete processor, and A/B/C stores three working states.

Can the interface be resized?

Yes. The hamburger menu offers 80%, 100%, 120% and 140% interface sizes and also provides direct access to the manual.

Which formats are planned?

Shark Orbit is prepared for Audio Unit and VST3 on macOS, with Windows VST3 planned as release packaging is completed. Demo and purchase links will be connected when signed installers are ready.
