Learned Continuous Synthesis of Quadratic Difference Tone Spectra
Esteban Gutiérrez, Behzad Haki, Christopher Haworth +2
Quadratic difference tones (QDTs) are a species of auditory distortion product in which a "phantom" pure tone, absent from the acoustic signal, is clearly audible to listeners. Exp…
SCAPES: Semantically Conditioned Autoregressive Prior for Environmental Sounds
Esteban Gutiérrez, Lonce Wyse, Frederic Font +1
As generative audio models grow in complexity, the computational and ecological costs of synthesizing everyday sounds have become increasingly prohibitive, often requiring industri…
Fractional Fourier Sound Synthesis
Esteban Gutiérrez, Rodrigo Cádiz, Carlos Sing Long +2
This paper explores the innovative application of the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) in sound synthesis, highlighting its potential to redefine time-frequency analysis in audi…
A Statistics-Driven Differentiable Approach for Sound Texture Synthesis and Analysis
Esteban Gutiérrez, Frederic Font, Xavier Serra +1
In this work, we introduce TexStat, a novel loss function specifically designed for the analysis and synthesis of texture sounds characterized by stochastic structure and perceptua…
Heterogeneous sound classification with the Broad Sound Taxonomy and Dataset
Panagiota Anastasopoulou, Jessica Torrey, Xavier Serra +1
Automatic sound classification has a wide range of applications in machine listening, enabling context-aware sound processing and understanding. This paper explores methodologies f…
