Yes, both in terms of physical size and number of channels the one in Berlin is much bigger. There's also a big one at Ircam, but it's not surround. The one here is certainly the biggest one open to the general public. I've now completely automated the whole thing so it can be run without any technical supervision by the museum staff. They just have an EEE with a player-like GUI talking OSC to the Python application that controls and if necessary reconfigures everything. Ardour is not used in this mode, the multichannel audio player is a Python class (with the real-time part written in C++). Ardour is used for the more experimental and research activities. Today I used it to cut a six channel recording of a piece by Cage into +/- 500 litte pieces distributed over 32 tracks. Each of these little pieces will be spatitalised separately, again using a Python app that tracks Jack's transport and generates the commands for the WFS engines. It's fun !
