We present a spatiotemporal gain-loss framework for eigenmode steering in coupled acoustic resonators. A cross-coupled gain-loss coefficient links the gain of one resonator to the intensity of its partner, creating nonlinear feedback that…

This paper introduces the ACCompanion, an expressive accompaniment system. Similarly to a musician who accompanies a soloist playing a given musical piece, our system can produce a human-like rendition of the accompaniment part that follows…

Many people enjoy classical symphonic music. Its diverse instrumentation makes for a rich listening experience. This diversity adds to the conductor's expressive freedom to shape the sound according to their imagination. As a result, the…

Rings like gold, thuds like wood! The sound we hear in a scene is shaped not only by the spatial layout of the environment but also by the materials of the objects and surfaces within it. For instance, a room with wooden walls will produce…

This paper proposes a new method to interpolate between two audio signals. As an interpolation parameter is changed, the pitches in one signal slide to the pitches in the other, producing a portamento, or musical glide. The assignment of…

Discovering and exploring the underlying structure of multi-instrumental music using learning-based approaches remains an open problem. We extend the recent MusicVAE model to represent multitrack polyphonic measures as vectors in a latent…

Reservoir computing is an emerging, but very successful approach towards processing and classification of various signals. It can be described as a model of a transient computation, where influence of input changes internal dynamics of…

We have analyzed the interplay between noise and periodic spatial modulations in bistable systems outside equilibrium and found that noise is able to increase the spatial order of the system, giving rise to periodic patterns which otherwise…

Sound effects model design commonly uses digital signal processing techniques with full control ability, but it is difficult to achieve realism within a limited number of parameters. Recently, neural sound effects synthesis methods have…

Recent advances in active noise control have enabled the development of hearables with spatial selectivity, which actively suppress undesired noise while preserving desired sound from specific directions. In this work, we propose an…

Resonant electromagnetic actuators have been broadly used as vibration motors for mobile devices given their ability of generating relatively fast, strong, and controllable vibration force at a given resonant frequency. Mechanism of the…

We investigate a control technique for spatially extended systems combining spatial filtering with a previously studied form of time-delay feedback. The scheme is naturally suited to real-time control of optical systems. We apply the…

The spatial information of sound plays a crucial role in various situations, ranging from daily activities to advanced engineering technologies. To fully utilize its potential, numerous research studies on spatial audio signal processing…

In this work, we propose a method for the controllable synthesis of real-time contact sounds using neural resonators. Previous works have used physically inspired statistical methods and physical modelling for object materials and…

Resonance, defined as the oscillation of a system when the temporal frequency of an external stimulus matches a natural frequency of the system, is important in both fundamental physics and applied disciplines. However, the spatial…

Of all the characteristics of a violin, those that concern its shape are probably the most important ones, as the violin maker has complete control over them. Contemporary violin making, however, is still based more on tradition than…

Automatic resonance alignment tuning is performed in high-order series coupled microring filters using a feedback system. By inputting only a reference wavelength, a filter is tuned such that passband ripples are dramatically reduced…

A sound synthesis model for woodwind instruments is developed using modal decomposition of the input impedance, accounting for viscothermal losses as well as localized nonlinear losses at the end of the resonator. To extend the definition…

This paper introduces a novel recurrent model for music composition that is tailored to the structure of polyphonic music. We propose an efficient new conditional probabilistic factorization of musical scores, viewing a score as a…

Modern keyboards allow a musician to play multiple instruments at the same time by assigning zones -- fixed pitch ranges of the keyboard -- to different instruments. In this paper, we aim to further extend this idea and examine the…
