Download Bunkervik Spatial Reverb Demo
This paper accompanies a demonstration of a real-time audio plug-in for a dynamic spatial reverb. The reverb is based on acoustic measurements of the Bunkervik creative arts space in Brescia, Italy. A modal synthesis reverberation engine was created based on measured impulse responses from three locations in the tunnel. Using a common set of modal frequencies the position of the receiver can be dynamically moved through the space by interpolating between data sets of residue weights and FIR filter taps. The audio plug-in also allows real-time manipulation of the high-frequency content, damping, and microphone rotation, all of which can be modulated using two LFOs.
