Abstract:
1. A method of creating a reproducing sound in a three dimensional space, comprising: creating a sound source, including generating a digital signal processing (DSP) layer; creating a DSP algorithm for the DSP layer of the sound source to create a motion path for the sound source; creating a curve to represent the motion path; providing a work space with a set of tools for creating a playback setting to control a playback mode of the sound source; adjusting a value of a parameter; providing a positional controller to adjust a position of a source object along one of the motion paths with respect to a listening object; defining a playback environment with a plurality of sound outputs, including providing information on the position and orientation of each of the sound outputs; and determining a value for each sound output of the plurality of sound outputs based upon the locations and orientations of the sound outputs in the playback environment relative to the source object.
