Scramble
  • Sound 1: Random scramble with K=20
    Input (excerpt from "Tristan und Isolde" by R. Wagner)
    Output

  • Sound 2: Random scramble with K=20
    Input (excerpt from "A German Requiem" by J. Brahms)
    Output
Rank
  • Sound 3: Direct ranking (increasing brighness against increasing sparsity), K=50
    Input (excerpt from "Computer World" by Kraftwerk)
    Output

  • Sound 4: Inverse ranking (increasing brighness against decreasing sparsity), K=50
    Input
    Output
Constrained scramble
  • Sound 5: Scramble constrained to low-brightness components, K=20
    Input
    Output
Cross-synthesis
  • Common inputs for all cross-synthesis examples:
    Source
    Target

    Output
  • Sound 7: Cross-synthesis based on spectral similarity, merge mapping, Ks=30, Kt=30
    Output
Constrained cross-synthesis
  • Sound 9: Cross-synthesis based on spectral similarity, high-brightness target spectra discarded, injective mapping, Ks=30, Kt=30
    Output
