\begin{abstract}
|
|
A command-line tool is proposed for the exploration of a new form of audio
|
|
synthesis known as ``concatenative-synthesis'': A form of synthesis that uses
|
|
perceptual audio analyses to arrange small segments of audio based on their
|
|
characteristics. The tool is designed to synthesise representations of an
|
|
input sound using a database of source sounds. This involves the
|
|
segmentation and analysis of both the input sound and database, matching of
|
|
input segments to their closest segment from the database, and the
|
|
re-synthesis of the closest matches from the database to produce the final
|
|
result.\\
|
|
|
|
The aim was to produce a tool capable of generating high quality sonic
|
|
representations of an input, and to present a variety of examples that
|
|
demonstrated the breadth of possibilities that this style of synthesis has
|
|
to offer. There are a number of other projects that use this form of
|
|
synthesis, however this project aims primarily to explore the further
|
|
potential offered through the offline processing of large databases, of
|
|
which considerably less research exists.\\
|
|
|
|
Overall, results demonstrate the wide variety of sounds that can be
|
|
produced using this method of synthesis. A number of technical issues were
|
|
outlined that impeded the overall quality of results and efficiency of the
|
|
software. However, the project clearly demonstrates the strong potential
|
|
for this type synthesis to be used for creative purposes.
