Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox

Python implementation of the Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox.

Documentation:

http://sfs.rtfd.org/

Code:

http://github.com/sfstoolbox/sfs-python/

Python Package Index:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sfs/

Requirements

Obviously, you’ll need Python. We normally use Python 3.x, but it should also work with Python 2.x. NumPy and SciPy are needed for the calcuations. If you also want to plot the resulting sound fields, you’ll need matplotlib.

Instead of installing all of them separately, you should probably get a Python distribution that already includes everything, e.g. Anaconda.

Installation

Currently, the package is not yet available on PyPI (but coming soon!), for now you should get it from Github:

git clone https://github.com/sfstoolbox/sfs-python.git
cd sfs-python
python setup.py develop --user

How to Get Started

Various examples are located in the directory examples/

• sound_field_synthesis.py:

  Illustrates the general usage of the toolbox

• horizontal_plane_arrays.py:

  Computes the sound fields for various techniques, virtual sources and loudspeaker array configurations

• soundfigures.py:

  Illustrates the synthesis of sound figures with Wave Field Synthesis
