Within this area, various techniques have y(n) cos 2 g (n) . been put forward, such as frequency modulation (FM) [3], phase distortion (PD) [5,9], nonlinear waveshaping A linear g(x) would result in a sinusoid whose frequency [1,10,14,16], and discrete summation formulae (DSF) is transposed. However, with nonlinear g(x), the shape of [11]. These are in many cases equivalent and can be used the output waveform is modified. as alternative ways to describe and implement a given From a waveshaping perspective, Equation 4 can be algorithm, as discussed in [7]. described as a sinusoidal waveshaper acting on a complex In particular, the waveshaping method provides a input waveform s(n) = 2 πφ(n): computationally simple means to produce potentially rich = [ ] (7) spectra. Its principle is quite straightforward, starting y(n) f s(n .) with a discrete-time sinusoidal signal, This transforms the phase signal s(n) into the output signal y(n) by means of a waveshaper f(x) = cos( x). The x(n) = sin( ωn ,) (1) waveshaper can be implemented as a function or as a where ω is the angular frequency and n is the discrete lookup table that acts on the normalized value of the sample index, a complex (i.e., non-sinusoidal) spectrum phase signal. The typical phase generator producing s(n) can be obtained via a mapping such as is the unipolar modulo counter φ(n) of Equation 5, which y(n) = f [x(n ],) (2) is also a unipolar geometric non-bandlimited sawtooth wave. In this vein, Equation 6 can be seen as based on a Copyright: © 2010 Kleimola, Lazzarini, Timoney, and Välimäki.

  • Theory and Practice of Modified Frequency Modulation Synthesis*
    PAPERS Theory and Practice of Modified Frequency Modulation Synthesis* VICTOR LAZZARINI AND JOSEPH TIMONEY ([email protected]) ([email protected]) Sound and Music Technology Group, National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Ireland The theory and applications of a variant of the well-known synthesis method of frequency modulation, modified frequency modulation (ModFM), is discussed. The technique addresses some of the shortcomings of classic FM and provides a more smoothly evolving spectrum with respect to variations in the modulation index. A complete description of the method is provided, discussing its characteristics and practical considerations of instrument design. A phase synchronous version of ModFM is presented and its applications on resonant and formant synthesis are explored. Extensions to the technique are introduced, providing means of changing spectral envelope symmetry. Finally its applications as an adaptive effect are discussed. Sound examples for the various applications of the technique are offered online. 0 INTRODUCTION tion we will examine further applications in complement to the ones presented in [11].

  • Real-Time Timbre Transfer and Sound Synthesis Using DDSP
    REAL-TIME TIMBRE TRANSFER AND SOUND SYNTHESIS USING DDSP Francesco Ganis, Erik Frej Knudesn, Søren V. K. Lyster, Robin Otterbein, David Sudholt¨ and Cumhur Erkut Department of Architecture, Design, and Media Technology Aalborg University Copenhagen, Denmark https://www.smc.aau.dk/ March 15, 2021 ABSTRACT Neural audio synthesis is an actively researched topic, having yielded a wide range of techniques that leverages machine learning architectures. Google Magenta elaborated a novel approach called Differ- ential Digital Signal Processing (DDSP) that incorporates deep neural networks with preconditioned digital signal processing techniques, reaching state-of-the-art results especially in timbre transfer applications. However, most of these techniques, including the DDSP, are generally not applicable in real-time constraints, making them ineligible in a musical workflow. In this paper, we present a real-time implementation of the DDSP library embedded in a virtual synthesizer as a plug-in that can be used in a Digital Audio Workstation. We focused on timbre transfer from learned representations of real instruments to arbitrary sound inputs as well as controlling these models by MIDI. Furthermore, we developed a GUI for intuitive high-level controls which can be used for post-processing and manipulating the parameters estimated by the neural network. We have conducted a user experience test with seven participants online. The results indicated that our users found the interface appealing, easy to understand, and worth exploring further. At the same time, we have identified issues in the timbre transfer quality, in some components we did not implement, and in installation and distribution of our plugin. The next iteration of our design will address these issues.

In this paper a description is given of a flexible subtractive synthesis scheme utilizing a set of tunable digital bandpass filters. Specific examples and applications are presented for realtime subtractive synthesis of singing and other musical signals. 0. INTRODUCTION Subtractive (or source-filter) synthesis is used widely in electronic and computer music applications. Subtractive synthesis general!y involves a source signal with a broad spectrum that is passed through a filter. The properties of the filter largely define the shape of the output spectrum by attenuating specific frequency ranges, hence the name subtractive synthesis [1]. The subtractive synthesis model is appropriate for the wide class of physical systems in which an input source drives a passive acoustical or mechanical system.

Espoo, June 1, 2007 Supervisor: Professor Vesa Välimäki Instructor: Professor Vesa Välimäki HELSINKI UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT OF THE OF TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S THESIS Author: Jussi Pekonen Name of the thesis: Computationally Efficient Music Synthesis – Methods and Sound Design Date: June 1, 2007 Number of pages: 80+xi Department: Electrical and Communications Engineering Professorship: S-89 Supervisor: Professor Vesa Välimäki Instructor: Professor Vesa Välimäki In this thesis, the design of a music synthesizer for systems suffering from limitations in computing power and memory capacity is presented. First, different possible syn- thesis techniques are reviewed and their applicability in computationally efficient music synthesis is discussed. In practice, the applicable techniques are limited to additive and source-filter synthesis, and, in special cases, to frequency modulation, wavetable and sampling synthesis. Next, the design of the structures of the applicable techniques are presented in detail, and properties and design issues of these structures are discussed. A major implemen- tation problem is raised in digital source-filter synthesis, where the use of classic wave- forms, such as sawtooth wave, as the source signal is challenging due to aliasing caused by waveform discontinuities. Methods for existing bandlimited waveform synthesis are reviewed, and a new approach using polynomial bandlimited step function is pre- sented in detail with design rules for the applicable polynomials.
