Quality Audio Prototyping: a prototype system for unified sound retrieval and procedural generation

arXiv:2606. 00629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sound design workflows frequently oscillate between time-consuming library searches and the complexity of procedural synthesis, with practitioners typically relying on disconnected tools to address each challenge separately.

SsgCaps: A controlled dataset for the evaluation of sound scene generation algorithms

SsgCaps is a publicly available dataset of human-engineered sound scenes, each paired with a precisely structured prompt that guides the sampling process. The prompts are drawn from a predefined action-based typology, enabling extensive yet plausible sampling. A comparative quantitative analysis shows only small differences between the open and private versions, supporting the recommendation of the open version for benchmarking sound scene generation algorithms.

MusiChat: Vibe Composing for Music Creation

Recent advances in AI music generation have enabled users to create complete musical pieces from natural-language prompts. However, most existing systems follow a prompt-and-regenerate paradigm, making iterative refinement difficult because users must repeatedly recreate compositions instead of directly evolving existing musical ideas.

Dreaming the Sound of Contact: Leveraging Video and Audio Generation for Zero-Shot Force-Aware Manipulation and Data Generation

The paper introduces a pipeline that combines generated video and audio to produce force-aware manipulation trajectories for a Franka Panda robot. By using the loudness of contact sounds to shape a bounded, time-varying desired-force profile, the system can execute tasks that require precise contact forces, outperforming kinematic-only baselines. The approach also serves as a data generation engine for training closed-loop policies.

Pianist Transformer: Towards Expressive Piano Performance Rendering via Scalable Self-Supervised Pre-Training

arXiv:2512. 02652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing methods for expressive music performance rendering, a conditional generation task that aims to generate a human-like performance from a symbolic score, rely on supervised learning over small labeled datasets, which limits scaling of both data volume and model size, despite the availability of vast unlabeled music, as in vision and language.
