DDSP-VST: Neural Synthesis for All - Nikhil Bhanu & Wilson Zhao - ADCx SF

We present DDSP-VST, a cross-platform audio plugin for real-time neural audio synthesis built using TensorFlow Lite and JUCE. DDSP is the underlying ML research behind this project that lets you combine the interpretable structure of classical DSP elements such as filters, oscillators, reverberation etc. with the expressivity of deep learning. This technology enables us to transform a given audio signal into any musical instrument by extracting the pitch and loudness and using those features for synthesis. In this talk we will discuss the technical and UX challenges of building an audio plugin powered by machine learning and making it accessible to musicians and artists.
