Interactive real-time concatenative synthesis in virtual reality

Abstract

This paper presents a new platform for interactive concatenative synthesis designed for virtual reality and proposes further applications for immersive audio tools and instruments. TimbreSpace VR is an extension ofWilliam Brentﾒs TimbreSpace software using the timbreID library for Pure Data. Design and implementation of the application are discussed, as well as its live performance aspects. Finally, future work is laid out for the project, proposing versatile audio manipulation software specifically for XR platforms.
