Abstract
Dette projekt udvikler et eksternt Wavefield Synthesis-objekt til den visuelle programmeringsplatform Max/MSP. Wavefield Synthesis (WFS) er en lydteknik, der bruger rækker af højttalere til at genskabe en lyds bølgefelt og skabe overbevisende indtryk af virtuelle lydkilder i rummet. Objektet, kaldet [wfs~], er skrevet i C med Max SDK og udviklet i Xcode IDE. Afhandlingen gennemgår baggrundsviden i psykoakustik (hvordan mennesker opfatter lyd), C-programmering og metoder til bølgefeltsyntese. [wfs~] blev vurderet på, hvor præcist det kan genskabe virtuelle, statiske (ikke-bevægende) lydkilder, og blev sammenlignet med softwaren WFSColider. Resultaterne viser, at der ikke er en statistisk signifikant forskel mellem de to programmer for denne opgave.
This project develops an external Wavefield Synthesis object for the Max/MSP visual programming environment. Wavefield Synthesis (WFS) is an audio technique that uses arrays of loudspeakers to recreate a sound’s wave field and produce convincing virtual sound sources in space. The object, named [wfs~], is written in C using the Max SDK and built with the Xcode IDE. The thesis reviews background in psychoacoustics (how people perceive sound), C programming, and wave field synthesis methods. [wfs~] was evaluated on how accurately it reproduces virtual, static (non-moving) sound sources and was compared with the WFSColider software. Results show no statistically significant difference between the two programs for this task.
