[PD] spatialisation/convolution-related

[J. Scott Hildebrand]

      hi mandy,

          first of all, you live in bristol? i love it there! i went by
myself from london just to see a band that i'm in love with. i got a bit
of a chance to explore the multimedia stuff, but for the most part i was
record shopping. i didn't get to the bridge though; i really wanted to see
that.

          anyway, i'm working on implementing HRTF convolution in Pd. i'm
not a VERY experienced programmer but i have some skills, and i have a lot
of people in the spatial audio field helping me out. i actually wrote my
own convolution patch but it was brute-force, and in the end it took too
many CPU cycles. it just plain old didn't work, so now i'm using FFTs to
do it and hopefully the CPU can handle multiple sources. how many HRTFs do
you have? i'd like to eventually modify the external so that it would be
very easy for anybody to use with however many HRTFs with however many
taps.

                   scott
