MultiScape
The MultiScape VRack tool is a self-contained threedimensional
sound modelling application, which allows multiuser
real time acoustic simulations.
• Provides facilities for the control of sound objects via the
SNAP interface.
• Allows the creation of multi-user soundscapes, including
door effects, room reflections, and live feeds
• Produces room reverberation by using room filters derived
from room acoustic modelling programs such as CATT-
Acoustic, CATT-VRoom or Lake Technology’s MakeRoom
software.
• Provides the output of the simulation to each user over
normal or tracked headphones or arrays of up to 12 speakers.
MultiScape allows users to participate in highly realistic realtime
three-dimensional acoustic simulations with multiple
moving sound objects, multiple simulated rooms and multiple
listener objects. Rooms are simulated using Lake’s proprietary
convolution technology — Lake Convolution — which gives
realistic room reverberation and accurate localisation.
Playback can be through either tracked headphones or an array
of between two and twelve speakers.
MultiScape integrates with other applications via the VRack.
Using MultiScape through the VRack interface allows a variety
of processing options such as equalisation (using Lake EQ), to
be inserted into the processing of MultiScape sound objects.
All MultiScape functions are controllable via SNAP messages.
