[PD] Re: Real-time sound from rigid-body physics simulator?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

FYI: this is a question for the pd-list.  pd-dev is for questions 
directly related to developing pd and objects for pd.  I am responding 
on pd-list.

I just found some pd objects for "realizing physical models of impact 
interaction" which sounds like what you are looking for:

http://www.soundobject.org/software.html

It should be pretty straightforward to take force and velocity values 
into pd and use them to control sound.  The CPU usage would mostly 
depend on the synthesis algorithm you use, but I think your target CPU 
usage should be reachable.
