contents We introduce a computationally efficient and tunable feedback delay network (FDN) architecture for real-time room impulse response (RIR) rendering that addresses the computational and latency challenges inherent in traditional convolution and Fourier transform based methods. Our approach directly optimizes FDN parameters to match target RIR acoustic and psychoacoustic metrics such as clarity and definition through novel differentiable programming-based optimization. Our method enables dynamic, real-time adjustments of room impulse responses that accommodates listener and source movement. When combined with previous work on representation of head-related impulse responses via infinite impulse responses, an efficient rendering of auditory objects is possible when the HRIR and RIR are known. Our method produces renderings with quality similar to convolution with long binaural room impulse response (BRIR) filters, but at a fraction of the computational cost.
