Sažetak
Dynamic stochastic synthesis is one of the non- standard sound synthesis techniques used mostly in experimental computer music. It is capable of producing various rich and organic sonorities, but its drawback is the lack of a convenient approach to controlling the synthesis parame-ters. Several authors previously addressed this problem and suggested direct parameter control facilitated with additional features such as parameter automation. In this paper we present a comprehensive toolkit which, besides direct control, offers several new approaches. First, it enables controlling the synthesizer with an audio signal. Relevant audio features of an input signal are mapped to the synthesis parameters making the control immediate and intuitive. Second, the toolkit supports MIDI control so that musicians can use standard MIDI interfaces to play the synthesizer. Based on this approach we implemented a polyphonic MIDI-controlled synthesizer and included it in the toolkit along with other examples of controlling the dynamic stochastic synthesizer. The toolkit was developed in the widely used visual programming environment Pure Data.
