Abstract: 

The goal of this workshop is to show how to position sound in space (stereo, multichannel and binaural). This should be done from a user point of view, without explaining the detailed mathematics behind the algorithms. Therefore existing and open-source implementations in Pure Data will be used and explained.

Topics:

  • stereo-panning methods
  • vector based amplitude panning (VBAP)
  • ambisonic
  • binaural ambisonic and 3D room simulation

To all topics I will explain the handling of the Pd implementations and the advantages/disadvantages of the specific methods, demonstrated on examples.
