Download Time-Variant Delay Effects based on Recurrence Plots
Recurrence plots (RPs) are two-dimensional binary matrices used to represent patterns of recurrence in time series data, and are typically used to analyze the behavior of non-linear dynamical systems. In this paper, we propose a method for the generation of time-variant delay effects in which the recurrences in an RP are used to restructure an audio buffer. We describe offline and realtime systems based on this method, and a realtime implementation for the Max/MSP environment in which the user creates an RP graphically. In addition, we discuss the use of gestural data to generate an RP, suggesting a potential extension to the system. The graphical and gestural interfaces can provide an intuitive and convenient way to control a time varying delay.
Download Probing Low-Level Acoustic Attribute Encoding in CLAP Audio Embeddings
This work analyzes CLAP audio embeddings through a probing framework, studying the encoding of reverberation (RT60), loudness (LUFS), spectral content (SC), and relative pitch (RP). Results show that all attributes are reliably recoverable from CLAP embeddings, with RT60, LUFS, and RP approximately linearly encoded, while SC requires non-linear probes. The identified patterns generalize across eight additional audio foundation models.
