New GAN framework models time-varying audio effects without control signals

Researchers have developed a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework for modeling time-varying audio effects without needing to extract control signals. This approach uses only input-output audio recordings, addressing limitations of traditional black-box modeling for dynamic systems. The framework employs a convolutional-recurrent architecture with a two-stage training strategy: an initial adversarial phase learns modulation behavior, followed by supervised fine-tuning with a State Prediction Network (SPN) for synchronization. A new metric for quantifying modulation accuracy has also been introduced, and experiments on a vintage phaser demonstrate the method's effectiveness. AI

    Time-Varying Audio Effect Modeling by End-to-End Adversarial Training

    arXiv:2512.15313v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep learning has become a standard approach for the modeling of audio effects, yet strictly black-box modeling remains problematic for time-varying systems. Unlike time-invariant effects, training models on devices with i…
