Optimizing synthesizer parameters using gradient approximation

Overview

Optimizing synthesizer parameters using gradient approximation

NASH 2021 Hackathon!

Open in Colab

These are some experiments I conducted during NASH 2021, the Neural Audio Synthesis Hackathon that took place on the 18th & 19th of December.

Over the weekend I explored implementing gradient approximation for torchsynth, so that synthesizers could be included in deep learning models & training without having to have the full synth be differentiable. It uses simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) to estimate the gradients for synthesizer parameters. This technique was used by Marco A. Martínez Ramírez et al. in their work on Differentiable Signal Processing With Black-Box Audio Effects.

I was able to start optimizing on a few parameters for a simple synthesizer, but ran into issues as soon as oscillator tuning or FM was introduced. There is a known issue with audio loss functions for calculating loss with pitch (Turian and Henry, 2020), so this is not surprising.

Nonetheless, techniques like SPSA seem promising for including traditional DSP synthesis into neural nets and deep learning!

Fun weekend puttering around with this! Thank you to Ben Hayes for organing the event.
