We achieve high-fidelity audio synthesis with as little as 10 to 20 wavetables and demonstrate how a data-driven dictionary of waveforms opens up unprecedented one-shot learning paradigms on short audio clips. Notably, we show audio manipulations, such as high quality pitch-shifting, using only a few seconds of input audio. Lastly, we investigate performance gains from using learned wavetables for realtime and interactive audio synthesis.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.10003v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.10003v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"differentiable-wavetable-synthesis","repo_url":"https://github.com/gudgud96/diff-wave-synth","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"audio-synthesis","task_name":"Audio Synthesis"},{"task_slug":"one-shot-learning","task_name":"One-Shot Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
