Abstract

In general, the present invention relates to a method and system for synthesizing artificial reverberation using modal analysis of a room or resonating object. In one embodiment of the inventive system, a collection of resonant filters is employed, each driven by the source signal, and their outputs summed. With filter resonance frequencies and dampings tuned to the modal frequencies and decay times of the acoustic space or resonating object being simulated, and filter gains set according to the source and listener positions within the space or object, any number of acoustic spaces and resonant objects may be simulated.
