Subject: [AUDITORY] DAFx 2026 call for papers From: Elliot Kermit Canfield-Dafilou <kermit@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 13:53:48 -1000--00000000000036c68e064500cf24 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [Apologies for cross-posting, please distribute] 29th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (DAFx26) September 1=E2=80=934, 2026 Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America https://dafx26.mit.edu/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://dafx26.mit.edu/__;!!BDUfV1Et5lrpZQ!UGD= B6x6yTsc9Rs8lLbkx2xh_ELpK1OhH5w0H4nRI3qjgDRI_OweNOgDwEUxkk7VV_gNWKsntlAocIm= FS2D41CHu43ubAp4cbxyPu$> We are pleased to announce that the 29th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (DAFx26) will be organized at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts from September 1=E2=80=934, 2026. The conference will be held in MIT's new Edward and Joyc= e Linde Music Building, across the river from Boston. The conference will feature oral presentations, poster and demo sessions, keynote addresses, and tutorials. The social program will offer opportunities for more informal interactions. Call for Papers This annual conference brings together research practitioners across the globe working with digital audio processing for music and speech, sound design, sound art, acoustics, and related applications. Original contributions for DAFx26 are encouraged in, but not limited to, the following topics: Signal processing and analysis Creative audio effects, sound synthesis, and composition Physical modeling and virtual analog Spatial sound, room acoustics, and artificial reverberation Music information retrieval, source separation, and audio restoration Machine learning for audio Audio coding and data representation Perception and psychoacoustics Hardware and software design This year, we especially welcome papers on the topic of novel creative audio effects. Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (8 pages maximum) for oral or poster presentation by March 30, 2026. https://dafx26.mit.edu/call-for-papers/ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://dafx26.mit.edu/call-for-papers/__;!!BD= UfV1Et5lrpZQ!UGDB6x6yTsc9Rs8lLbkx2xh_ELpK1OhH5w0H4nRI3qjgDRI_OweNOgDwEUxkk7= VV_gNWKsntlAocImFS2D41CHu43ubApwgrHpEQ$> Volumes 1998 to 2025 of DAFx proceedings are now indexed in Scopus, and this will apply similarly to DAFx26 proceedings. Parameter Estimation Challenge We are pleased to announce the 1st DAFx Parameter Estimation Challenge, proposed at DAFx25. The challenge sets up a benchmark for system identification of audio effects, centred on plate reverberation as a representative case of a dense, weakly damped acoustic system. There are two main tasks: Task A, Physical Parameter Identification: estimate a subset of the plate= =E2=80=99s physical parameters (density, Young=E2=80=99s modulus, thickness, tension, = etc.) from synthetic impulse responses. Task B, Modal Parameter Estimation: recover modal parameters (natural frequencies, decay rates, and gains) from simulated or measured frequency responses. Both tasks rely on data generated from a damped Kirchhoff-Love plate model, with baselines, metrics, and scripts provided in the public repo at https://github.com/LOGUNIVPM/1st-DAFx-Challenge <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/LOGUNIVPM/1st-DAFx-Challeng= e__;!!BDUfV1Et5lrpZQ!UGDB6x6yTsc9Rs8lLbkx2xh_ELpK1OhH5w0H4nRI3qjgDRI_OweNOg= DwEUxkk7VV_gNWKsntlAocImFS2D41CHu43ubApyiNYCRx$> . Challenge participants should submit their results by May 31, 2026. Other Calls In addition to the paper session, there will be a devoted session for demonstrations.
