Abstract:
A method for synthesizing sound includes receiving one or more first inputs ( 80 ), each including a respective monaural audio track ( 82 ). One or more second inputs are received, indicating respective three-dimensional (3D) source locations having azimuth and elevation coordinates to be associated with the first inputs. Each of the first inputs is assigned respective left and right filter responses based on filter response functions that depend upon the azimuth and elevation coordinates of the respective 3D source locations. Left and right stereo output signals ( 94 ) are synthesized by applying the respective left and right filter responses to the first inputs.

Claim (Index 33):
The method according to  claim 26 , wherein the one or more first inputs comprise a first plurality of audio input tracks, and wherein the instructions cause the computer to spatially upsample the first plurality of the input audio tracks in order to generate a second plurality of synthesized inputs, having synthesized 3D source locations with respective coordinates different from the respective 3D source locations associated with the first inputs, to filter the synthesized inputs using the filter response functions computed at the azimuth and elevation coordinates of the synthesized 3D source locations, and to sum the filtered synthesized inputs with the filtered first inputs to produce the stereo output signals.
