| Hi Jordi,
EASE 4.2 is currently being beta-tested. Along with a preview we also introduced the new Generic Loudspeaker Library (GLL) at the AES in New York. We have presented two papers in that respect:
119 AES Preprint 6631: New Data Format to Describe Complex Sound Sources
119 AES Preprint 6632: The Significance of Phase Data for the Acoustic Prediction of Combinations of Sound Sources
The GLL format is a new data format that allows for modelling of complex sound sources, such as line arrays, clusters, columns or multi-way loudspeakers in a very natural way. In addition to acoustic data it includes mechanic and electronic data too. Some of the most interesting facts are that multiples sources can be defined per loudspeaker box, along with crossover filters and other properties. Additionally acoustic data can be stored in its native resolution rather than in a fixed tabular data format.
After two years of development, we think that the GLL will allow to overcome most of the problems connected to conventional data formats (such as the EASE SPK file format), like for example the definition of power handling, storage of high-resolution complex data, mechanic interaction between boxes as well as external/internal crossovers and parametric filters.
Please refer to the preprints (www.aes.org) for more details. We will also publish more information about this new approach shortly.
