Popis: The cross-correlation of multichannel reverberation generated using interleaved velvet noise is studied. The interleaved velvet-noise reverberator was proposed recently for synthesizing the late reverb of an acoustic space. In addition to providing a computationally efficient structure and a perceptually smooth response, the interleaving method allows combining its independent branch outputs in different permutations, which are all equally smooth and flutter-free. For instance, a four-branch output can be combined in 4! or 24 ways. Additionally, each branch output set is mixed orthogonally, which increases the number of permutations from M! to M^2!, since sign inversions are taken along. Using specific matrices for this operation, which change the sign of velvet-noise sequences, decreases the correlation of some of the combinations. This paper shows that many selections of permutations offer a set of well decorrelated output channels, which produce a diffuse and colorless sound field, which is validated with spatial variation. The results of this work can be applied in the design of computationally efficient multichannel reverberators.
