Description

Input Sound

Engine Sounds.

Synthesis Constraints

 
Source 1 Two separate sources (one at the beginning of the sound, the other at the end) of short bursts of acceleration sounds.
Target 1 Two hard '1' constraint segment.

Negative hard '-1' constraint segment elsewhere.

 

Source 2 One sustained motor acceleration source
Target 2 One hard '1' constraint segment.

Negative soft '-1' constraint segment elsewhere.

Comments

Uses hard inclusion and exclusion for both constraints.

 

 

 

Self-Similarity Synthesis

 

Segmented Original Sound

 

Shows the segmentation boundaries on original sound

 

 

New Sound

 

(top) Shows the old segmented sound along each constraints source segments. (middle) Shows the synthesized sound. (bottom) Shows Constraint targets along with how the origin of the grains in these targets regions.

(top left) Shows the original probabilities for every grain at each instant of the synthesis over time. (top right) Shows how the original propabilities where rescaled according to the weights at that current in the synthesis. (bottom left) Illustrates the difference between the two initial and new probabilities. (bottom right) Shows the target weights for each constraints. The surface represents the final calculated weights for each grain. The final weights assigned to each grain depends on wether it satisfies or not the current constraint targets. A weight of zero means that it-s original probability is left unchanged. Shows the target weights for each constraints. The surface represents the final calculated weights for each grain. The final weights assigned to each grain depends on wether it satisfies or not the current constraint targets. A weight of zero means that it-s original probability is left unchanged. Shows which grains were excluded from the synthesis from a hard -1 constraint. Shows which grains were hard included in the synthesis from a hard 1 constraint.
