The system consists of 10 small active studio monitors with a 5" kevlar membrane and a 1" dome tweeter. The monitors are bi-amped with a 40W amp for the bass and a 30W amp for the tweeter. It's not a big powerful system, but it's effective, precise and well suited for smaller venues of 60-90m2.<br />

I have composed music for 4, 5 12 and 16 channels before, and it's really something different, than a regular stereo setup. But the problem is often that you won't have much time with the multi channel system. You often have to compose in blind, and try to guess how it will be, and then try to save the worst misassumptions during a short rehearsal before the concert. And even more unfortunate; you never have time to experiment and explore the compositorial possibilities of the system. For instance using sample delays for creating advanced phasing effects, algorithmic ways of panning, diffusing, distributing and moving the sounds etc. So that is basically the reason for this project; to actually be able to work with the setup and compose <i>with </i>it instead of <i>for</i> it.<br />
<br />
Sound localization<br />
Sound localization is a big subject of research, and here are just a few key concepts. When we localize a sound source, we use a combination of three main indicators.<br />
ILD (Interaural Level Difference)<br />
A sound source will always be closer to one ear than the other (on less the source is on-axis). Since sound level decays with distance the sound level perceived by the first ear hit by the wavefront, will be louder than what is perceived by the second. And the head will also shadow away some of the higher frequencies. This level difference is used to determine the direction of a sound source.<br />
ITD (Interaural Time Difference)<br />
When a sounds wavefront approaches the ears, it will reach the ears with a small time delay, which creates a phase difference. This phase difference is detected by the brain and is used to calculate the direction. We can detect an ITD in the magnitude of tens of microseconds, which gives a directional precision of down to 2 degrees under the right circumstances.<br />
ILD becomes close to useless with wavelengths longer that ear distance times 4, because the head isn't big enough to shade off the wave front at the second ear. ITD becomes useless at wavelengths shorter than ear distance times 2 because the phase difference gets so big that the brain can't calculate if the phase difference is 1/4 wavelength or 5/4 wavelength og 9/4 wavelength or more.<br />
<br />
HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function)<br />
The head related transfer function is the frequency "coloration" that happens when a wavefront hits the head, torso, pinnae, hair etc. from a certain angle. The coloration is different depending on th angle so from registering which frequencies are boosted and which are attenuated, the brain leans the directional fingerprint imbedded in the sounds perceived.<br />
<br />
So since localizing sound sources are one of the core competences of the auditory system, it is if course, interesting to work with this in a artistic way. Deciding to go with 10 speakers is more of a practical and financial decision rather than an artistic decision, but it still radically expands the possibilities over a stereo or a 5.1 setup. And I found that it is just enough speakers to make an acceptably smooth circular panning. But if I could have had 1000 speakers sphericially distributed around the audience, I would prefer that:-)<br />

The first thing I did when I had the system set up, was to record and test a lot of different sounds, both synthetic and acoustic, and se how they were acting when being diffused and panned in different gestural movements and abrupt patterns. Some sounds were recorded in a old gym hall, with a lot of reverb. Stuff was thrown, hit, bowed, strung, spun, etc. make rich, vibrant, gestural sounds.<br />
Other sounds were made up from very simple basic synthetic waveforms (sines, saws, squares). A rather obvious finding is that sounds that has energy distributed over a broad spectrum, are much easier to locate than sounds with narrow spectral energy. A sine wave, for instance, that per definition only has energy at one frequency, is very hard to source locate. Almost all the spectral cues are gone, so you only have vague cues from ILD and/or ITD depending on the frequency.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, short broad spectrum bursts are quite easy and fast to locate.<br />
<br />
The patch below is a 10ch panning interface that can be automated for different predicitable or unpredictable patterns. <br />
<br />

I just finished this mod on the <a href="http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/cr68.php">Roland CR-68 drum machine</a>. I bought it several years ago, and always liked the sound of it, but never really used it, since it only features preprogrammed rythms.
But now it has external trigger in for nine of it's eleven analog voices.
The mod is based on <a href="http://www.andrewkilpatrick.org/?p=cr68_midi_input">Andrew Kilpatrick's cool MIDI-solution</a> for the machine, and he has been very helpful with this much simpler mod.
The trigger signal for each voice is simply a 5 v pulse of 15-20ms. Andrew Kilpatrick suggests connecting each trigger through a resistor of 47k. So far I haven't done that, since I need to test the implementation with different setups. I tested it with an Arduino board (which outputs 5v on it's digital pins), but I also need to test if I can trig the sounds with my MOTU audio interface (with DC-coupled outputs for CV control) and my <a href="http://www.paia.com/proddetail.asp?prod=9700K&cat=12">PAIA MIDI-to-CV converter</a>.<br />

We had 7 cassette tape walkmen and played back a lot of danish old music. It was sort of a collage of hits from the last 50 years. At first we thought that we were actually going to play for the queen herself but later we found out that our concert had the purpose of entertaining the people waiting to wave at the Queen as she passed trough the city streets. <div>The concert lasted 45 minutes and ended as the Queen approached. It went very well but due to some misunderstanding a youth march orchestra was playing to the same audience at the same time as us. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibpsrxpWlSTWnGwZWw3852WAqVD3Dz08KR9VN9CnL9K9dKjFhkEOV9JYmqtqsE5-_k9iFbplZuhnrkg69H3YDOzTPywbf9W2A3RoctAqhAm42iCJNssu7PL-j_Q39gj0-DirCZbE7BnkA/s400/dronning2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479640695966733682" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 213px; " /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS6q-6tZ1yxBs-bG9iyyxlSSl_0uqy4Vw4zW3Kjtwm9WKRq7yY6zStYfthtcPq7PTfezzLFACg5rjUjHCKJcUDXPXVEVtwRqdh4nATREIB4exskRxO0TbDKLZyFhAbReIP2CpNh3NmzSY/s1600/Dronning1.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS6q-6tZ1yxBs-bG9iyyxlSSl_0uqy4Vw4zW3Kjtwm9WKRq7yY6zStYfthtcPq7PTfezzLFACg5rjUjHCKJcUDXPXVEVtwRqdh4nATREIB4exskRxO0TbDKLZyFhAbReIP2CpNh3NmzSY/s1600/Dronning1.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS6q-6tZ1yxBs-bG9iyyxlSSl_0uqy4Vw4zW3Kjtwm9WKRq7yY6zStYfthtcPq7PTfezzLFACg5rjUjHCKJcUDXPXVEVtwRqdh4nATREIB4exskRxO0TbDKLZyFhAbReIP2CpNh3NmzSY/s1600/Dronning1.jpg"></a></div><div><br /></div><div>To those who wanted to hear the youth orchestra it was ofcourse disturbing that we were playing at the same time.

Jensen (1886), called "Jensen, højttalerens opfinder" (1948). The history about the invention of the speaker varies depending on the source The earliest small speakers used in telephones was invented in 1860-1880, but the use of speakers to amplify the voice so that a speech could be heard by thousands at the same time, seems to be realised by Jensen in 1915. The speaker was based on the moving coil principle, which was already known, so he didn't get a patent. Some guys from AT&T got it almost 10 years later due to some improvements and more specific descriptions.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipULPWt3lrRqa8xrD4p7GY8DQqpim3f5h1DymONFEoFbB79jMkjoKFAyhr6KNhm4uWdqL9No_iv33nZLz1zq0Gn7YoJL-wgw2KH5Z5jCLHO4puLFpUvqA35lFAyisvwL8CcdZfQIyfxSs/s400/IMG_4243.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472143937381139330" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span> <div>The book describes Jensen's work with Valdemar Poulsen on the first radio transmissions and the race against the spark transmitter of Marconi. And how he moves to U.S.A. in 1909 and experiences really loud feedback for the first time when testing the loudspeaker prototype. There are also stories about the invention of the electrical turntable cartridge and the radio tube. So the book is both a 1st person story about the early days of electrified media and a really interesting adventure of the son of a fisherman who became an important inventor.
