Automatic Timbre Transformation Using Enhanced Diffusion Model
IEEE AccessWe present a novel timbre transfer model that uses an enhanced diffusion architecture to convert music from various instruments into Erhu timbre. The Erhu, a traditional Chinese instrument, is difficult to simulate due to its rich vibrato and smooth note

A Drawing-Based Digital Music Instrument
, 2013 This paper presents an innovative digital musical instrument, the Illusio, based on an augmented multi-touch interface that combines a traditional multi-touch surface and a device similar to a guitar pedal. Illusio allows users to perform by drawing and by associating the sketches with live loops.
