Rigid-Body Sound Synthesis with Differentiable Modal Resonators
"Physical models of rigid bodies are used for sound synthesis in applications from virtual environments to music production. Traditional methods, such as modal synthesis, often rely on computationally expensive numerical solvers, while recent deep learning approaches are limited by post-processing of their results. In this work, we present a novel end-to-end framework for training a deep neural network to generate modal resonators for a given 2D shape and material using a bank of differentiable IIR filters."  Read More
