We are presenting a free workshop on spatial audio and spatial hearing tomorow
in Québec City (french only!). The workshop includes live interactive
demonstration of Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) that we have been implemented with
MAX/MSP (with a single G5!) (in the very few past days!) using a compact
16-channel loudspeaker array. (See my DIY column in the current MusicWorks
(93).) Other demonstrations include “beam-forming” so that sound events behind
the audience are created with a compact frontal disposition of loudspeakers (no
loudspeaker behind) while firing acoustical beam on room surfaces.

The MAX/MSP patches are the first version of our WFS free patches. The second
version (cleaner, with a GUI) should be compiled and distributed in 2006.
Freely, of course!
