Quality Audio Prototyping: a prototype system for unified sound retrieval and procedural generation
Researchers have developed a prototype system called Quality Audio Prototyping (QuAP) that combines audio retrieval with procedural sound generation. This unified interface aims to streamline the sound design workflow by reducing the gap between conceptualizing a sound and its realization. QuAP includes a similarity-based retrieval engine, real-time procedural audio models, and a rule-based assistant for parameter guidance, which preliminary evaluations suggest improves synthesis quality and workflow utility for practitioners.
