LOCAL DISSONANCE MINIMIZATION IN REALTIME

Julián Villegas, Michael Cohen

2007

Abstract

This article discusses the challenges of applying the tonotopic consonance theory to minimize the dissonance of concurrent sounds in real-time. It reviews previous solutions, proposes an alternative model, and presents a prototype programmed in Pd that aims to surmount the difficulties of prior solutions.
