Abstract: A sound system and method for modeling a sound field generated by a sound source and creating a sound event based on the modeled sound field is disclosed. The system and method captures a sound field over an enclosing surface, models the sound field and enables reproduction of the modeled sound field. Explosion type acoustical radiation may be used. Further, the reproduced sound field may be modeled and compared to the original sound field model.

Abstract: A sound system for capturing and reproducing sounds produced by a plurality of sound sources. The system comprises a device for receiving sounds produced by the plurality of sound sources and converting the separately received sounds to a plurality of separate audio signals without mixing the audio signals. The system may further comprise a device for separately storing the plurality of separate audio signals on a recording medium without mixing the audio signals and a device for reading the stored audio signals from the recording medium. The system further includes a reproduction system for recreating the plurality of separate audio signals. Also, the system comprises an amplification network which comprises a plurality of amplifier systems, with one or more separate amplifiers in each amplifier system for separately amplifying each of the separate audio signals.

Abstract: A system and method for providing individual control over sound objects that are discretely received at a playback device. The sound objects may be representative of individual sound sources, and may include both sound content produced by the sound objects as well as other characteristics of the sound objects. The other characteristics of the sound objects may comprise one or more of a directivity pattern, position information, an object movement algorithm, and or other characteristics. In some instances, the other characteristics may establish an integral wave starting point, a relative position, and a scale for each of the N sound objects.

Abstract: A system and method for recording and reproducing three-dimensional sound events using a discretized, integrated macro-micro sound volume for reproducing a 3D acoustical matrix that reproduces sound including natural propagation and reverberation. The system and method may include sound modeling and synthesis that may enable sound to be reproduced as a volumetric matrix. The volumetric matrix may be captured, transferred, reproduced, or otherwise processed, as a spatial spectra of discretely reproduced sound events with controllable macro-micro relationships.
