CURRENT RESEARCH IN CONCATENATIVE SOUND SYNTHESIS
Diemo Schwarz · 2005
Concatenative synthesis is a promising method of musical sound synthesis with a steady stream of work and publications in recent years. It uses a large database of sound snippets to assemble a given target phrase. We explain its principle and components and its main applications, and compare existing concatenative synthesis approaches. We then list the most urgent problems for further work on concatenative synthesis.
