초록

최근에 모바일 기기와 같은 적은 메모리를 요구하는 환경에 적합한 인공잔향기의 개발이 이슈화 되고 있다. 이러한 조건에 적합한 한가지 방법은 콤 필터의 궤환루프안에 시간변화 전대역통과 필터(APF)를 삽입하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 시간변화 APF를 사용하는 잔향기의 이론적, 지각적 분석을 시행함으로써 지각적으로 수용 가능한 APF의 페이즈 변화량을 찾았다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 새로운 시간변화 잔향기 설계 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 잔향기의 성능평가를 통해 제안된 잔향기가 적은 메모리를 사용하면서도 기존의 시불변 잔향기와 동일한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

Development of an artificial reverberation algorithm with low memory requirements has been an issue of importance in applications such as mobile multimedia devices. One possible solution to this problem is to embed a time-varying all-pass filter to the feedback loop of the comb filter. In this paper, theoretical and perceptual analyses of reverberators embedding time-varying all-pass filters are presented. The analyses are to iud a perceptually acceptable degree of phase variation by the all-pass filter. Based on the analyses, we propose a new methodology of designing reverberators embedding time-varying all-pass filters. Through the subjective tests, we showed that, even with smaller memory, the proposed method is capable of providing perceptually comparable sound quality to the conventional methods involving time-invariant parameters.
