Hello,
I'm working on a project of simulating 3 dimensional manifolds different from the Euclidian space and I need to find a way of rendering thousands of sound sources in real time.

All the sources will emit the same sound, but anyway, rendering with normal spatialization patches is impossible, I imagine.

Any ideas on how to do it?

Thanks!

all sources emit the same sound, but do they emit it at the same time?

if not, then you need to have your sound generation in subpatches or abstractions so you can switch them off when the sound is finished. that way, you only need to render the maximum number of simultaneous voices at once.

they do emit the same sound at the same time, but as their distances from the listener varies, they have to be generated by the speakers in different moments. many of them might have a very low loudness energy due also to their distance, but it's important that this generation were done as realistic as possible, although these spaces are imaginary 3 dimensional manifolds.

if you have news about someone who solved this problem in other situations, please, let me know.

thanks a lot for your reply!
