Keynote: Sonic Cartography - Navigating the Abstract Space-Time of Sound - Carla Scaletti - ADC 2024
---

From the chemotaxis of single-celled organisms to human exploration of the solar system, it seems that terrestrial brains are exquisitely tuned for navigating in 3-d space. There is evidence that we use our navigation brains, by way of conceptual metaphors, to reason about even the most abstract concepts. But what about when that space is infinite? How do we navigate within a virtual space that does not even exist until we generate it? This is the domain that audio developers inhabit and explore on a routine basis. And we’ve developed strategies that have analogs in biological evolution, anthropology, physics, computational equivalence, assembly theory and emergence. Audio developers are the under-appreciated protagonists of this story (but there is a happy ending).

Carla Scaletti

Co-founder of Symbolic Sound Corporation (https://kyma.symbolicsound.com/), Carla Scaletti is the creator of the Kyma language, a sound design environment used extensively in film, games, music, and scientific research.
In addition to her work as a software developer, Scaletti composes experimental electronic music for live performance, contemporary dance, and virtual reality. Since 1990, she has been one of the pioneers helping to establish the field of data sonification: using sound to explore, interpret, and communicate complex scientific data.
At the University of Illinois, she earned a doctorate in music composition with a minor in psychoacoustics, alongside a master's degree in computer science. Among her composition professors was Salvatore Martirano, creator of the hybrid digital-analog composing machine known as the Sal-Mar Construction (https://distributedmuseum.illinois.edu/exhibit/sal-mar_construction). Her computer science advisor, Ralph Johnson, was one of the ""Gang of Four"" who revolutionized software development with their book on design patterns for object-oriented programming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns).
During her time as a graduate student and post-doctoral researcher at the University of Illinois, Dr. Scaletti was a member of the CERL Sound Group, where she collaborated with a group of fellow students who would go on to notable careers in audio signal processing, among them:
• Kurt J. Hebel: Co-founder of Symbolic Sound and designer of Kyma's audio processing units.
• Lippold Haken: Founder of Haken Audio and inventor of the Continuum Fingerboard.
• Charlie Q. Robinson: Dolby researcher and winner of a 2024 technical Oscar for the Atmos audio format.
• Kelly Fitz: Principal DSP Algorithm Engineer at Eargo.com and developer of the Loris open source sound modeling & processing software
• Richard G. Baraniuk: Rice University Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Founder of the open education initiative OpenStax

The ADC Team is pleased to announce the return of ADCx Gather 2025. ADCx Gather is an online version of our ADCx in-person one-day conference meet-ups. Programming for ADCx uses a shorter 18 min. talk format allowing for the presentation of a variety of topics for all audiences.

The ADCx Gather one-day online event is free and open to everyone in the audio developer community (registration required). ADCx Gather is hosted in Gather Town, a browser-based virtual online platform that allows attendees to interact and collaborate in real-time.

ADCx Gather also includes a full day of audio developer 18 min. talks. Attendees will have the option of attending these sessions live or they can watch a livestream of the day for free on YouTube where you will also be able to catch up on any talks that you miss.

If you are thinking about attending ADC 2025 online, then ADCx Gather is an excellent way to preview the experience you can expect for ADC 2025.

Any attendees who do register will be able to access exclusive content in Gather Town including poster sessions and meetups from community sponsors.

Real-Time FFT Convolution - History and Review - Selim Sheta - ADC 2024
---

This presentation traces the evolution of real-time FFT convolution algorithms over the 60-year timeline spanning the original Cooley-Tuckey FFT algorithm and today’s sophisticated techniques. We will explore four pivotal advancements: Overlap-Add and Overlap-Save, Uniform Partitioned Convolution, and Non-Uniform Partitioned Convolution. We will discuss these method’s background and situate them in a historical context, before delving into their mathematical foundations and practical implementation considerations. Attendees will gain insights into the comparative advantages and limitations of each algorithm, alongside a comprehensive understanding of their historical significance.

Perceptual Convolution - Fast and High-Fidelity Combined - Tobias Hienzsch - ADC 2024
---

Convolution plays a crucial role in modern music production, extending beyond classical reverberation to applications with neural networks and hardware emulation. The demand for efficient computation has long constrained real-time capabilities. Perceptual Convolution aims to address this challenge by computing only the segments of the impulse response (IR) that are perceptible to the human ear.

Identifying these acoustically important segments of the IR is the key challenge. In this presentation, we will explore the computational savings achieved, methods for analyzing existing IRs to enhance their efficiency, and the impact on performance and perceived audio quality. By focusing on perceptually relevant data, we can improve both the efficiency and the overall auditory experience.
