Make That Sound More 'Metallic': Towards a Perceptually Relevant Control of the Timbre of Synthesizer Sounds Using a Variational Autoencoder

In this article, we propose a new method of sound transformation based on control parameters that are intuitive and relevant for musicians. This method uses a variational autoencoder (VAE) model that is first trained in an unsupervised manner on a large dataset of synthesizer sounds. Then, a percept...
