Artificial reverberation is added to sound signals to enhance listening enjoyment, but existing electronic reverberators struggle to achieve high echo densities. The paper aims to develop purely electronic methods to produce artificial reverberation indistinguishable from natural room acoustics. The authors present electronic techniques for creating natural‑sounding reverberation, including a method to render it ambiophonic. The resulting reverberation can be tailored to match various music styles and listener preferences.
'Artificial reverberation is added to sound signals requiring additional reverberation for optimum listening enjoyment. This paper describes methods for generating, by purely electronic means, an artificial reverberation which is indistinguishable from the natural reverberation of real rooms. This artificial reverberation can be given any desired characteristics to match different types of music and personal tastes. A method for making the artificial reverberation ambiophonic (i.e., three-dimensional) is also described.
