Sound examples illustrating the paper

"Synthesizer for Spatialized Environmental Sounds"


This page provides binaural sound examples that have been created with the spatialized additive synthesizer. The synthesis parameters have been obtained with different methods (spectral analysis of real sounds, physical models, heuristics, ...).
Two of the sounds below have also reverberation added as a post-processing effect, after the synthesis/spatialization algorithm. (stone-like sound and drops of water). All soundfiles can be downloaded in a zip file here
