EXPRESSIVE VIOLIN SYNTHESIS: A STUDY CASE IN REALTIME MANIPULATION OF COMPLEX DATA STRUCTURES

This report gives the results of the project #10 of eNTERFACE 2008 summer workshop on mulimodal interfaces. This research highlights the problems of content-oriented instrumental sound synthesis, and an example for the violin is developed. The project has been planned as an extensive sound analysis processus, where multiple aspects of a given database have been studied. Then different resynthesis strategies have been implemented and some relevant choices in this field are discussed.
