A System for Data-driven Concatenative Sound Synthesis
In speech synthesis, concatenative data-driven synthesis methods prevail. They use a database of recorded speech and a unit selection algorithm that selects the segments that match best the utterance to be synthesized. Transferring these ideas to musical sound synthesis allows a new method of high quality sound synthesis. Usual synthesis methods are based on a model of the sound signal. It is v...
متن کاملCurrent Research in concatenative sound synthesis
Concatenative synthesis is a promising method of musical sound synthesis with a steady stream of work and publications in recent years. It uses a large database of sound snippets to assemble a given target phrase. We explain its principle and components and its main applications, and compare existing concatenative synthesis approaches. We then list the most urgent problems for further work on c...
متن کاملAn Interactive Software Instrument for Real-time Rhythmic Concatenative Synthesis
In this paper we describe an approach for generating and visualising new rhythmic patterns from existing audio in real-time using concatenative synthesis. We introduce a graph-based model enabling novel visualisation and manipulation of new patterns that mimics the rhythmic and timbral character of an existing target seed pattern using a separate database of palette sounds. Our approach is desc...
متن کاملk-Best Hidden Markov Model Decoding for Unit Selection in Concatenative Sound Synthesis
Concatenative synthesis is a sample-based approach to sound creation used frequently in speech synthesis and, increasingly, in musical contexts. Unit selection, a key component, is the process by which sounds are chosen from the corpus of samples. Hidden Markov Models are often chosen for this task, but one common criticism is its singular path output which is considered too restrictive when va...
متن کاملConcatenative Sound Synthesis: The Early Years
Concatenative sound synthesis is a promising method of musical sound synthesis with a steady stream of work and publications for over five years now. This article offers a comparative survey and taxonomy of the many different approaches to concatenative synthesis throughout the history of electronic music, starting in the 1950s, even if they weren’t known as such at their time, up to the recent...
