Abstract

This research, based on the action/object paradigm that proposes that sounds result from an action on an object, focuses on the synthesis of sustained interaction sounds: rubbing, scratching, rolling and nonlinear friction sounds. Thanks to the underlying signal models which are highly controllable, the proposed synthesizer allow the definition of objects and interactions properties from an intuitive graphical interface. The synthesized sounds are controlled in real time by the user’s gesture thanks to external controllers and physically informed mappings.
