Virtual Acoustic Rendering by Stave Wave Synthesis by Esteban Maestre, McGill University
Abstract:
We present State Wave Synthesis (SWS), a framework for the efficient rendering of sound traveling waves as exchanged between multiple directional sound sources and multiple directional sound receivers in time-varying conditions. We introduce a mutable state-space system modal
formulation through which input/output matrices change size and coefficients in time-varying conditions, and perceptually motivated designs are possible. SWS enables the accurate simulation of frequency-dependent source directivity and receiver directivity, provides means for simulating frequency-dependent attenuation of propagating waves, and allows an alternative realization through which state variables are treated as propagating waves.
