#4769 Seven-Setting Psychoacoustic and Perceptual Descriptors #4769 Describe a music synth interface that supports ranges of values for Bright vs. Dark Warm vs. Cold Narrow vs. Wide Evolving vs. Stationary Beating (Detuning) vs. Vibrato Wobbly vs. Consistent Sliding vs. Repetitive A semantic macro-control synthesizer interface translates high-level psychoacoustic and perceptual descriptors into complex, multi-parameter sound design configurations. Rather than exposing dozens of disconnected DSP knobs (filter cutoff, detune cents, LFO shapes, stereo pan spread), the architecture uses bipolar semantic macro axes where each pole represents an aesthetic extreme. By supporting ranges rather than single static points, each axis accepts an operating interval [V_min, V_max] combined with dynamic behaviors (e.g., velocity scaling, modulation drift, random walk, or key tracking). 1. Perceptual Axis Parameter Mappings Each semantic axis maps directly to an underlying network of synth...
