  1. 1. Prototyping and user testing a new sound toy: Gamelike interactions with FM synthesis

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Viktor Jers; [2023]
    Keywords : audio technology; sound toys; user experience; fm synthesis;

    Abstract : Sound toys are game-like technologies that can be described as playful sonic interactions where the users are given unusual ways to creatively explore and transform synthetic sound. This study investigated the prototyping and evaluation of a new sound toy. READ MORE

  3. 2. Circuit design and hardware implementation of an analog synthesizer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Olle Murhed; [2023]
    Keywords : synthesizer; analogue; circuit design; sound; sound synthesis; oscillator; VCO; filter; amplifier; sequencer; control voltage; breadboard;

    Abstract : Since the heyday of analogue synthesizers in the 70's, they have largely been replaced by digital hardware and software synthesizers. However, in recent years, there has been a revival in analogue designs, possibly due to its ``warmer" sound. READ MORE

  4. 3. Model-based synthesis of singing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Xiaofeng Zeng; [2023]
    Keywords : Singing voice synthesis; Source-filter model; Anti-resonances; SuperCollider; Sång röstsyntes; Käll-filtersmodell; Anti-resonanser; SuperCollider;

    Abstract : The legacy KTH Music and Singing Synthesis Equipment (MUSSE) system, developed decades ago, is no longer compatible with contemporary computer systems. Nonetheless, the fundamental synthesis model at its core, known as the source-filter model, continues to be a valuable technology in the research field of voice synthesis. READ MORE

  5. 4. Intercorrelation between sound design, binaural and non-binaural audio systems : Effects on general vertical localization precision and reaction time in a non-visual directional choice task 3D game

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : David Baker; [2022]
    Keywords : Spatialization; binaural synthesis; HRTF; stereo; 3D audio; videogames; ASC; Auditory spatial schema; Head related transfer function;

    Abstract : Spatialization of audio in the vertical plane has historically been limited. Instead, sound designers have used basic DSP to create pseudo height effects to explain the positions of corresponding objects. In recent years, binaural synthesis has become more widespread following an increase in the use of software rendering methods. READ MORE

  6. 5. Generative Adversarial Networks for Cross-Lingual Voice Conversion

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Fredrik Ankaräng; [2021]
    Keywords : Generative Adversarial Network; CycleGAN; Cross-Lingual Voice Conversion; Speech Synthesis; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Speech synthesis is a technology that increasingly influences our daily lives, in the form of smart assistants, advanced translation systems and similar applications. In this thesis, the phenomenon of making one’s voice sound like the voice of someone else is explored. READ MORE
