Sm. Lim et Btg. Tan, Performance of the genetic annealing algorithm in DFM synthesis of dynamicmusical sound samples, J AUD ENG S, 47(5), 1999, pp. 339-354
A qualitative analysis of the performance of a genetic annealing algorithm
(GAA) is presented. The GAA is applied in the double frequency modulation D
FM parameter optimization problem. It is shown that the GAA can optimize th
e solution to the global minimum by plotting the solution spaces of one DFM
equation for all samples. Dynamic musical sounds were synthesized using th
e DFM synthesis technique. A recycling process is also proposed to improve
the efficiency of the GAA process. The resulting dynamic sounds synthesized
by the DFM are presented and compared with those of real samples.
