Abstract
Sound matching allows users to automatically approximate existing sounds using a synthesizer. Previous work has mostly focused on algorithms for automatically programming an existing synthesizer. This paper proposes a system for selecting between different synthesizer designs, each one with a corresponding automatic programmer. An implementation that allows designing ensembles based on a template is demonstrated. Several experiments are presented using a simple subtractive synthesis design. Using an ensemble of synthesizer-programmer pairs is shown to provide better matching than a single programmer trained for an equivalent integrated synthesizer. Scaling to hundreds of synthesizers is shown to improve match quality.
