CZECH
TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY IN PRAGUE announce a student competition
SYNTH
CHALLENGE 2022 Competition Assignment: 1)
Synthesize sound of the electric vehicle Superb by Škoda
auto according to car motion control
(please see description) and video. Although speed of the vehicle and engine
(columns 9 and 10) are the most natural factors defining the final sound, we
do not constrain which and how any parameters should be employed for
synthesis. 2)
Musical instrument synthesis of one of the following
compositions using MIDI files: i)
"Barcarolle" from 'The
Tales of Hoffmann' by Jacques Offenbach
using MIDI files. The attached file Barcarolle.mid
/ Barcarolle.csv (please see description) consists
of piano and string ensemble tracks. or ii)
"Typewriter" from by Leroy Anderson using MIDI files. The
attached file Typewriter.mid / Typewriter.csv (please see description) consists
of piano, percussion and bell tracks. Musical instruments and sounds in both MIDI files
can be freely replaced with other instruments. Please see original orchestral
versions on the internet for inspiration. Competition Rules: a)
The algorithms of audio synthesis of car sounds
could be programmed in MATLAB or different software environment b)
In MATLAB environment you can use a MIDI_toolbox (version 2.3) with MIDI files
type 0 • function main.m
contains examples of the solo instrument and polyphony synthesis • your own synthesis
should be included in the file synth.m, in which
the instrument functions may be written • the MIDI files used
for synthesis has to be included in the midi folder • output synthesis
files *.m4a have to be included in the result folder c)
The output files of sound synthesis in both tasks
must be in the *. m4a audio format d)
The final version of competition tasks should be
submitted via email synthchallenge@fel.cvut.cz
before 31.12.2022, 24:00: • all files of the
synthesis in the original format of the used software environments • the output files
from both tasks (*. m4a) • a report containing
the description of used techniques of the synthesis and references e)
The report and output synthetic files provided by
competitors will be published on the web page f)
The announcement of the competition results, will be
held Contact: synthchallenge@fel.cvut.cz Source
