A query-based framework to handle data issues in concatenative sound synthesis

Concatenative Sound Synthesis (CSS) is a data-driven method to synthesise new sounds. It involves taking in a sound, decomposing it into smaller sound segments, analyzing its spectral and other auditory content, before searching into a database of other sound segments for a matching pair. The select...
