About Me

Sohyun Im graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Sound Engineering from the University of West London and is currently pursuing her Master's in Sound and Music Computing at Queen Mary University of London.

She has a keen interest in audio programming and DSP, having conducted research on Virtual Analog Modelling, which bridges the analog and digital realms, during her undergraduate studies. Additionally, she is deeply interested in the emerging field of generative music AI and is dedicated to advancing her knowledge in this area.

Sohyun is also a lifelong pianist. Regardless of the genre, feel free to invite her whenever you need a pianist. She might already be there, ready to play!

Sessions

  • Workshop: Practical Machine Learning
    09:30 - 12:30 UTC | Monday 11th November 2024 | Bristol 1
    Beginner

    In this workshop we’ll explore the fundamentals of Machine Learning. We will run through an easy to follow machine learning model that will: Be easy for beginners Run on the CPU Be real time This will cover an intro to Machine Learning, small vs large models and an introduction to a training environment in python. We aim to make this workshop as interactive as possible, with the idea of having a trained model in session for everyone to use/play with. This will be a self-contained workshop aiming to be accessible to all levels of learning - all elements used in […]

  • The Intersection of Analog and Digital Audio Processing

    An Introductory Guide to Virtual Analog Modelling
    11:20 - 12:10 UTC | Wednesday 13th November 2024 | Empire
    Beginner

    Audio circuits, such as guitar pedals and amplifiers, process input signals to output signals with specific audio effects. The process of replicating the electrical behaviour of these circuits in a digital environment is known as Virtual Analog (VA) modelling. This session aims to provide a basic understanding of VA modelling and explore various methods to achieve it. Finally, using these methods as a foundation, we will look at modelling the circuit of the MXR Distortion+ guitar pedal and examine the process of creating a real-time safe audio plugin that emulates the reference circuit’s behaviour.
