clarity and
great
resolution.
These
programs
were
chosen for
the
purpose
of creating
a
'sound
stage'
for
the
musical
performance.
There
is
a well
defined
sense
of three
dimensional
space
that is
occupied
by
each
instrument:
left
to right
and
front
to
back.
The
blocks
in the illustration
indicate
the
physical
placement
of
each instrument,
and
the spreading
of the
sound
due to the
psychoacoustic
imaging
characteristics
of each
program.
Notice
that
the
small
programs
have more
of a centered
spatial image while
the large
programs
are
wider, more
open
and spacious.
