Physical Modeling with the 2-D Digital Waveguide Mesh

Overview An extremely efficient method for modeling wave propagation in a membrane is provided by the multi-dimensional extension of the digital waveguide. The 2-D digital waveguide mesh is constructed out of bi-directional delay units and scattering junctions. Further the white-paper shows that it coincides with the standard finite difference approximation scheme for the 2-D wave equation, and we derive the dispersion error. Applications may be found in physical models of drums, soundboards, cymbals, gongs, small-box reverberators, and other acoustic constructs where a one-dimensional model is less desirable.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
