The invention relates to a method for generating sound for a rotating machine, including a step (E) of determining the frequencies and amplitudes of n partials and/or harmonics (i) pertaining to the sound of a rotating machine, characterized in that the method includes a step (E) of determining values (a1) and a step (E-E) of calculating a synthetic sound for the rotating machine, said synthetic sound being composed from the n partials and/or harmonics (i), while the frequency thereof is entirely or partially shifted by the values (ai).

Generating sound for a rotating machine of a device

A method for coding a multi-channel audio signal representing a sound scene comprising a plurality of sound sources is provided. This method comprises decomposing the multi-channel signal into frequency bands and, per frequency band, obtaining directivity information per sound source of the sound scene, the information being representative of the spatial distribution of the sound source in the sound scene, of selecting a set of sound sources of the sound scene constituting principal sources, of matrixing the selected principal sources to obtain a sum signal with a reduced number of channels and, of coding the directivity information and of forming a binary stream comprising the coded directivity information, the binary stream being transmittable in parallel with the sum signal. A decoding method is also provided that is able to decode the sum signal and the directivity information to obtain a multi-channel signal, to an adapted coder and an adapted decoder.

Encoding of multichannel digital audio signals

A method is provided for coding a multi-channel audio signal representing a sound scene comprising a plurality of sound sources. The method comprises decomposing the multi-channel signal into frequency bands and the following performed per frequency band: obtaining data representative of the direction of the sound sources of the sound scene, selecting a set of sound sources constituting principal sources, adapting the data representative of the direction of the selected principal sources, as a function of restitution characteristics of the multi-channel signal, determining a matrix for mixing the principal sources as a function of the adapted data, matrixing the principal sources by the matrix determined so as to obtain a sum signal with a reduced number of channels and coding the data representative of the direction of the sound sources and forming a binary stream comprising the coded data, the binary stream being transmittable in parallel with the sum signal.

Advanced encoding of multi-channel digital audio signals

A method and associated device are provided for spatial synthesis of a sum signal to obtain at least two output signals, the sum signal as well as the spatialization parameters being output from a parametric coding by matrixing of an original multi-channel signal. The method comprises: decorrelation of the sum signal to obtain a decorrelated signal; applying a synthesis matrix, whose coefficients depend on the spatialization parameters, to the decorrelated signal and to the sum signal to obtain said output signals, wherein for at least one range of value of at least one spatialization parameter, the coefficients of the synthesis matrix are determined according to a criterion of minimizing a quantitative function, relating to the quantity of decorrelated signal in each of the output signals obtained by applying the synthesis matrix.
