With over a decade of audio engineering experience, he currently leads Modulate’s audio team, blending classical signal processing with revolutionary machine learning algorithms. A Boston native, Terry has served as a Teaching Fellow at Harvard University and Corporate Strategy Associate at K-Swiss Global Brands. Terry Chen is the VP of Audio at Modulate, a startup leveraging machine learning to pioneer the next generation of voice customization. In this session, we'll discuss dataset collection, signal processing and offer a real-time Modulate demo. We'll look at existing voice altering technology and examine the fundamental elements of building a next-level voice changer. In this talk, Terry Chen will provide an in-depth look at Modulate voice skins- voice changers that offer real-time sonic customization in an online setting. He spent several years in Northern Ireland as a Lecturer in Audio at the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) of Queen's University Belfast, and just started a new position as a Research Engineer at iZotope, Inc. As a composer, he works with chiptunes, musique concrète, circuit bending, algorithmic/generative composition, & breakbeat. at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), he wrote a dissertation entitled "Virtual Analog Modeling of Audio Circuitry Using Wave Digital Filters," using the classic Roland TR-808 bass drum circuit as a case study. Kurt James Werner does research related to virtual analog, the history of music technology (especially analog drum machines), 1-bit music, & sound synthesis.
Special emphasis will be placed on a new variant of sparse noise I developed called "Crushed Velvet Noise," which is especially useful for 1-bit music.ĭr. Finally, I will describe the design of some of my custom 1-bit synthesizers, audio effects, and mixers.
Second, I will demonstrate my own process for composing 1-bit music in a modern workflow, using Ableton Live with custom DSP code written in Max For Live / MaxMSP / Gen~. In this talk, I will first review some of the classical approaches to 1-bit music.
In general, it is difficult to achieve polyphony or layered sounds with these systems, and they lack standard audio effects like filtering, EQ, and feedback delay. Traditionally, using these "1-bit" audio systems (also sometimes called "beepers" or "PC beepers") has meant sticking to a narrow range of timbres: mainly square waves, pulse waves, and impulse trains. If you are interested in retro-styled video game music and audio, or the creative constraints of 1-bit sound on its own, this talk is for you! The sonic capabilities of many early computers (Apple IIe, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, &c.) were extremely limited: a single digital CPU pin wired directly to a speaker or audio jack.
