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. -
A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits
A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits Fran¸cois Georges Germain Department of Music Research McGill University Montreal, Canada October 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. c 2011 Fran¸cois Georges Germain i Abstract This thesis presents a theoretical and experimental study of the nonlinear behaviour of analog synthesizers’ effects. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and complete current research on nonlinear system modelling, both in and out of the field of music technology. The cases of single-input and multiple-input effects are considered. We first present an electronic analysis of the circuits of common examples of analog effects such as Moog’s lowpass filter and Bode’s ring modulator, extracting the equations of each system. We then discuss the results of experiments made on these systems in order to extract qualitative information about the distortion found in the system input-output relationship. Secondly, we look at the literature for methods used to model single-input nonlinear systems, and we investigate the opportunities to extend these techniques to multi-input systems. We focus on two different modelling approaches. The black-box approach seeks to model the input-output transfer function of the system as closely as possible without any particular assumption on the system. The circuit modelling approach uses the knowledge of electronic component behaviour to extract a transfer function from the known circuit of the system. The results of both approaches are compared to our experiments in order to evaluate their accuracy, identify flaws and, when possible, suggest potential improvements of the methods. -

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. -
Computationally Efficient Music Synthesis
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing Jussi Pekonen Computationally Efficient Music Synthesis – Methods and Sound Design Master’s Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. 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. -
Rack Mount Edition by R.Stephen Dunnington
USER’s MANUAL for the Rack Mount Edition By R.Stephen Dunnington Here it is – the Minimoog Voyager Rack Mount Edition®. Moog Music has put more than 30 years of experience with analog synthesizer technology into the design of this instrument to bring you the fattest lead synthesizer since the minimoog was introduced in 1970. We’ve done away with the things that made 30-year- old analog synthesizers difficult – the tuning instability, the lack of patch memory, and the lack of compatibility with MIDI gear. We’ve kept the good parts – the rugged construction, the fun of changing a sound with knobs in real time, and the amazing, warm, fat, pleasing analog sound. The Voyager is our invitation to you to explore analog synthesis and express yourself. It doesn’t matter what style of music you play – the Voyager is here to help you tear it up in the studio, on stage, or in the privacy of your own home. Have fun! Acknowledgements – Thanks to Bob Moog for designing yet another fantastic music making machine! Thanks are also due to the Moog Music Team, Rudi Linhard of Lintronics for his amazing software, Brian Kehew, Nigel Hopkins, and all the great folks who contributed design ideas, and of course, you – the Moog Music customer.
