ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic. Channel logs: https://freenode.irclog.whitequark.org/~h~yamahasynths

<samlittlewood> andlabs: new pcbs are on the way to me ….
<andlabs> cool
<andlabs> sorry I forgot to send an email sooner I'll do that today
<samlittlewood> np :)
<andlabs> neat
<andlabs> will dig out the tx7 and try this out later
<superctr> tfw AI generated patches sound better than my own
<superctr> "The voice names are stored as 10 of the 155 parameters within a voice. The AI is trained to predict all the parameters but unfortunately it hasn't gained a very good grasp of human language"
<ZrX-oMs> Should try that with my DX7-II
<cr1901_modern> This is nuts lmao. Thanks for the link alva
<alva> :D
<cr1901_modern> In the 90s (or maybe even 80s) there was a paper on using genetic algorithms to develop FM synthesis patches to match a particular sound.
<cr1901_modern> I don't have the paper on me.
<cr1901_modern> But this seems like a natural evolution
<cr1901_modern> (get it? evolution? genetic? *slaps knee*)
<ZirconiumX> boooo
<superctr> i assume that would require some human work, to select the "winning" patch in each generation
<superctr> Because you have to be subjective
<superctr> with GAN, not so much. You just need a shit ton of samples
<cr1901_modern> It probably used least squares each generation. I don't remember the exact paper even w/ a Google search
<cr1901_modern> I just know that it exists because at the time I first got into FM synthesis, I was using genetic algorithms for a uni project
<cr1901_modern> so it stuck
ZirconiumX is now known as lofty
lofty is now known as Lofty
* Ruxnor pokes Lofty
<Lofty> Hi :P
