The Heart and Soul of Sound Generation
Neuron's synthesis engine is powered by the technology found in neural networks
(for more on this, see the section "Neural Networks"). It uses models as
the basis for sound generation. In conceptual terms, these models are comparable
to samples, and they are derived by analyzing audio samples. This means
that in principle, any auditory event can provide the raw material for creating
and processing sound in Neuron. It ships with some 100 of these models on
its internal hard disk. Though this is a huge store of sound design resources,
you are free to analyze audio resources (samples) of your own, using our
proprietary ModelMaker software, and archive them in the form of user
models. These models contain the actual sound as well as the parameter
sets that were captured during neural analysis. Parameter sets are subdivided
in up to three levels, and they may be manipulated via the resynators'
sticks. That makes Neuron the first synthesizer offering dynamic parameter
assignment tailored specifically to the sound that you select for processing.
