Digital Sound Synthesis : The Studies
An evaluation about parallelsound synthesis using genetic algorithms has been proposed. The study employs a parallelizable architecture that target different sound synthesizer topologies. By Matching the Parameters of Different Sound Synthesizer Topologies, the architecture was found to be more productive and efficient than traditional methods.
A paper about digital sound synthesis by physical modeling has been conducted in an effort to find the best model for a given composition. There are many different models which can be used for sound synthesis, and there is no one model that is best suited for every composition. The study found that block-based physical modeling was the best model for certain compositions, and that other models may not be as effective for others.
An evaluation about digital sound synthesis based on physical models has recently been presented. The method converts a continuous model for the vibrating body, given by a partial dierential equation (PDE), into a multidimensional transfer. The study finds that the optimization of this model is based on the optimization of the transfer functions. The optimization is based on minimizing an objective function that depends on some features of the vibrating body.
An article about using digital sound synthesis for multimedia applications has been conducted which is divided into two main approaches, sampling manipulation and software synthesis. Sampling manipulation is the process of manipulating the sampling rate, filter warmth, and chorusFactor of a digital audio file to create a custom soundscape. Softwareynthesis is the process of creating sounds using various software tools and algorithms. This article will focus on software synthesis as it is a more common method used in multimedia projects.
A review about the architecture and implementation of a digital sound synthesis algorithms framework in an educational setting is proposed. The software will allow students to develop their own real-time, digital sound synthesis algorithms that can be employed in an appropriate academic environment. By using thisframework, students will have the opportunity to use cutting-edge technology in a safe and professional manner.
A study about timbre modulation using a digital computer has been presented. This study demonstrates how to Additively Modulate Timbre in Digital Sound Synthesis using a computer. This is done by combining multiple algorithms which are then used to create a final result. By doing this, the user can manipulate tonality and feeling in their music in ways that are never possible before.
An evaluation about the usage and potential of stochastic structuring techniques in musical composition and control of digital sound synthesis systems has been recently conducted by authors. These studies show that although many powerful and sophisticated computer sound synthesis systems have recently been developed, their use remains significantly under-exploited by composers. This is primarily due to the preliminary work required to set up these systems and the fairly intricate programming often necessary.
An analysis about physical-based synthesis of xylophones for auditory- tactile virtual environments was conducted. The study found that physical modeling greatly enhances the realism and accuracy of sonic sound in virtual reality applications.
A study about digital sound synthesis techniques has been conducted by De Poli, Giovanni and De Poli, Giovanni. By using a variety of digital audio processors and synthesizers, the study A shown that there are many ways to create sounds with them. The methods used vary, but all have one common goal - to produce music that is unique and licensee specific.
An analysis about double reed woodwind instruments has been undertaken to identify how they can be used in digital sound synthesis. By reverse modelling these instruments, it was found that they can be used to create sustains, harmonies and rhythms more effectively than if the instrument were only made of a single reed. This increased the likelihood that these sounds would be Heard more convincingly through synthesizers and allows for a wider range of sounds to be created by using double-reed instruments in digital music production.
An article about sound synthesis by physical modeling has recently gained attention. Examples of sound synthesis methods currently used include waveform generation employing sonic filters and fast Fourier transforms, and virtualization of acoustic audio signals by computer.
A study about early digital sound synthesis revealed that the technology allowed for the create any sounds that could be imagined. This intersection of sonic and acoustical properties yielded unique and innovative styles of music that continue to be enjoyed to this day.
