OVATION JOINS THE CELEBRATIONS WITH MAJOR NEW RELEASE posted: 05/10/2020
Compatibility with Flux and Dolby as Renderer Partners
Even though celebrations for Merging Technologies 30th Anniversary have been muted by Covid-19, nothing could stop major enhancements to all three of the company's software platforms. Pyramix is celebrating its 25th Anniversary but Ovation has not been overshadowed. The release of Ovation 9 brings a number of highly significant changes that make this product more accessible and dramatically improves the immersive audio options for live events.
While Ovation natively offers a powerful spatial audio rendering engine, Ovation is now able to seamlessly connect to Flux Spat Revolution (audio custom mapped OSC metadata by Merging and Flux) or a Dolby Atmos Renderer (audio Dolby Atmos metadata). Spatial audio engines typically work by sending separate elements to a processor (the renderer) that will render all elements into a custom speaker set. This has the benefit of giving full freedom to the show designer to work with any mixture of:
Objects (Audio Metadata)
Bus based audio (stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 22.2, etc )
Scene based audio (Ambisonic, for example)
Ovation at the Kate Bush Tour
OSC stands for Open Sound Control and is literally this! This protocol brings the advantage of being simple to read and customize. It doesn't limit control of a certain set of parameters. Therefore, more and more manufacturers are adopting this standard to allow their devices to be controlled by others or to control other devices. As the ultimate show sequencer, Ovation 9 is capable of generating and receiving OSC commands from anywhere.
Ovation at Universal THeme Parks Orlando
The Dolby Atmos integration is also on Pyramix (supplied with Ovation) for the production of immersive music but it is available to Ovation users should they wish to create a live show in this format. This allows for:
Direct connection with HE-RMU to transfer audio and metadata with the Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite.
Fully compatible with the Dolby Atmos Production Suite renderer
Extremely flexible mixing options. Bed and Objects can be optimized in Pyramix to manage different speaker set configurations
Ovation at Delta Sound
In a move to make the software packs simpler to understand and more cost effective, Ovation is available in three distinct software packs which can run in native mode or on our MERGING MASSCORE audio engine. Aimed at a variety of different applications and budgets, explore below to find out which Ovation pack is right for your next project.
OVATION ELEMENTS

It is the ideal tool for professional show designers and broadcasters.

Supporting the boom of immersive shows and the adoption of new spatial rendering engines, Ovation PREMIUM allows to on the fly record, edit and playback audio cues through a Flux SPAT or Dolby Atmos renderer.
Does your show include video projections? No problem, Ovation synchronizes seamlessly with Dataton WATCHOUT and Ross Video. Control your mixer like a pro with Eucon or Ovation surfaces.
All the ELEMENTS and PRO packs options
Dolby Atmos and Flux
Support of Eucon and OASIS controllers
Dataton WATCHOUT and Ross Video integration
Multi sequencer synchronization
Track count up to 384 I/O (with MERGING MASSCORE engine only)
Designed for extended audio interactivity requirements in AV systems design. For use when a standard mixing console would be otherwise considered necessary for the system design. Cruise ships, theme parks, large theatre environments, broadcast.
Flux Verb Session
Add the MassCore Hardware option to any software version and get ultra-low latency, maximum track count (64 I/O DSD/DXD) and massive performance from VS3 plugins from leading vendors like Cedar and Flux.
FREE VERSION
Free is a word that grabs attention so Ovation or Pyramix for free sounds very tempting. There is a string attached; you need to have purchased a Merging Hardware product after September 1st 2020 and registered it on the website. You then get the choice of Pyramix or Ovation Elements in a full version and fully capable of DSD and DXD recording. For those not buying even an Anubis, you can still purchase either program for a nominal amount and experience the best of high-resolution audio.
