Voice-controlled plucked bass guitar through two synthesis techniques

Jordi Janer

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

In this paper we present an example of the use of the singingvoice as a controller for digital music synthesis. The analysis of the voice with spectral processing techniques, derivedfrom the Short-Time Fourier Transform, provides ways ofdetermining a performer's vocal intentions. We demonstratea prototype, in which the extracted vocal features drive thesynthesis of a plucked bass guitar. The sound synthesis stageincludes two different synthesis techniques, Physical Modelsand Spectral Morph.
