Latent Timbre Synthesis

Spatializing Timbre With Corpus-Based Concatenative Synthesis

Corpus-based concatenative synthesis presents unique possibilities for the visualization of audio descriptor data. These visualization tools can be applied to sound diffusion in the physical space of the concert hall using current spatialization technologies. Using CATART and the FTM&CO library for MAX/MSP we develop a technique for the organization of a navigation space for synthesis based on ...

Mapping Motion to Timbre: Orientation, FM Synthesis and Spectral Filtering

Motion is a time-based event situated in threedimensional space. In the performance of most musical instruments, the musician associates physical motion with audible results. In some instruments, physical motion is used to change the timbre of the instrument. Digital techniques of analysis and re-synthesis have paved the way for the understanding of timbre as a distribution of energy among spec...

Timbre Synthesis Technology and its Application to Computer Music Compositions

This paper introduces the timbre synthesis technologies developed so far from the standpoint of composers. That is, the classification is based upon musical function. It also introduces major compositions in which new timbres synthesized by those technologies form the main structural core. Timbre synthesis technologies referred to here are granular synthesis, morphing and sound hybridization, w...
