MAD | AI 2020: Neural Networks as Effects in Feedback loops for novel Audio Effects.

Patrick Lechner | FH St. Pölten

This work proposes the use of different ANN (Artificial Neural Network) structures, such as LSTMs and CNNs for the creation of new audio sonic textures via their placement in a feedback loop. Novel means of artistic expression and navigation of AI generated sounds can be achieved by training an ANN on musical material in order to predict an STFT frame from previous ones and placing the ANN in a feedback loop together with other effects.
