A Reverberation Instrument Based on Perceptual Mapping
نویسنده
چکیده
The present article describes a reverberation instrument which is based on cognitive categorization of reverberating spaces. Different techniques for artificial reverberation will be covered. A multidimensional scaling experiment was conducted on impulse responses in order to determine how humans acoustically perceive spatiality. This research seems to indicate that the perceptual dimensions are related to early energy decay and timbral qualities. These results are applied to a reverberation instrument based on delay lines. It can be contended that such an instrument can be controlled more intuitively than other delay line reverberation tools which often provide a confusing range of parameters which have a physical rather than perceptual meaning.

The Effect of Semantic Mapping as a Vocabulary Instruction Technique on EFL Learners with Different Perceptual Learning Styles
Traditional and modern vocabulary instruction techniques have been introduced in the past few decades to improve the learners’ performance in reading comprehension. Semantic mapping, which entails drawing learners’ attention to the interrelationships among lexical items through graphic organizers, is claimed to enhance vocabulary learning significantly. However, whether this technique suits all...

متن کاملFast Perceptual Convolution for Room Reverberation
The FIR-based reverberators, which convolve the input sequence with an impulse response modelling the concert hall, have better quality compared to the IIR-based approach. However, the high computational complexity of the FIR-based reverberators limits the applicability to most cost-oriented system. This paper introduces a method that uses perceptual criterion to reduce the complexity of convol...
متن کاملPerceptual compensation for reverberation in human listeners and machines
This thesis explores compensation for reverberation in human listeners and machines. Late reverberation is typically understood as a distortion which degrades intelligibility. Recent research, however, shows that late reverberation is not always detrimental to human speech perception. At times, prolonged exposure to reverberation can provide a helpful acoustic context which improves identificat...

Listeners were asked to identify modified recordings of the words "sir" and "stir," which were spoken by an adult male British-English speaker. Steps along a continuum between the words were obtained by a pointwise interpolation of their temporal-envelopes. These test words were embedded in a longer "context" utterance, and played with different amounts of reverberation. Increasing only the tes...
