  • Statistical sound event modeling system and methods
    Patent number: 7310604
    Abstract: Complex sound events are created by generating multiple different kinds of simpler sounds with randomly varying repetition rates. The average repetition rate can also be variable. The values of sound parameters such as wave selection, pitch distribution, pan distribution and amplitude distribution can have random distributions, as determined by various control inputs, some of which have their own random distributions.
