Order dependent feature selection in Concatenative Sound Synthesis using Analytical Hierarchy Process
Noris Mohd Norowi, Eduardo Reck Miranda · 2011
Advancement in computing has opened up the possibility of mechanizing the process of music creation. Through Concatenative Sound Synthesis, best matched segments between target and source sounds are found and synthesized. Factors that affect the distance of the match, such as the order and weight of the features are examined and presented here. A robust algorithm to automatically assign consistent weights to all features through the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process is also designed and described.
