Web Audio Conference 2019 - 2nd Call for Submissions & Keynotes

by Gerard Roma

*Apologies for cross-postings* # Fifth Annual Web Audio Conference - 2nd Call for Submissions https://www.ntnu.edu/wac2019 The fifth Web Audio Conference (WAC) will be held 4-6 December, 2019 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio technologies and applications. The conference addresses academic research, artistic research, development, design, evaluation and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript. The conference welcomes web developers, music technologists, computer musicians, application designers, industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, students and people interested in the fields of web development, music technology, computer music, audio applications and web standards. The previous Web Audio Conferences were held in 2015 at IRCAM and Mozilla in Paris, in 2016 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, in 2017 at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London in London, and in 2018 at TU Berlin in Berlin. The internet has become much more than a simple storage and delivery network for audio files, as modern web browsers on desktop and mobile devices bring new user experiences and interaction opportunities. New and emerging web technologies and standards now allow applications to create and manipulate sound in real-time at near-native speeds, enabling the creation of a new generation of web-based applications that mimic the capabilities of desktop software while leveraging unique opportunities afforded by the web in areas such as social collaboration, user experience, cloud computing, and portability. The Web Audio Conference focuses on innovative work by artists, researchers, students, and engineers in industry and academia, highlighting new standards, tools, APIs, and practices as well as innovative web audio applications for musical performance, education, research, collaboration, and production, with an emphasis on bringing more diversity into audio. ## Keynote Speakers We are pleased to announce our two keynote speakers: Rebekah Wilson (independent researcher, technologist, composer, co-founder and technology director for Chicago’s Source Elements) and Norbert Schnell (professor of Music Design at the Digital Media Faculty at the Furtwangen University). More info available at: https://www.ntnu.edu/wac2019/keynotes ## Theme and Topics The theme for the fifth edition of the Web Audio Conference is Diversity in Web Audio. We particularly encourage submissions focusing on inclusive computing, cultural computing, postcolonial computing, and collaborative and participatory interfaces across the web in the context of generation, production, distribution, consumption and delivery of audio material that especially promote diversity and inclusion. Further areas of interest include: * Web Audio API, Web MIDI, Web RTC and other existing or emerging web standards for audio and music. * Development tools, practices, and strategies of web audio applications. * Innovative audio-based web applications. * Web-based music composition, production, delivery, and experience. * Client-side audio engines and audio processing/rendering (real-time or non real-time). * Cloud/HPC for music production and live performances. * Audio data and metadata formats and network delivery. * Server-side audio processing and client access. * Frameworks for audio synthesis, processing, and transformation. * Web-based audio visualization and/or sonification. * Multimedia integration. * Web-based live coding and collaborative environments for audio and music generation. * Web standards and use of standards within audio-based web projects. * Hardware and tangible interfaces and human-computer interaction in web applications. * Codecs and standards for remote audio transmission. * Any other innovative work related to web audio that does not fall into the above categories. ## Submission Tracks We welcome submissions in the following tracks: papers, talks, posters, demos, performances, and artworks.

Is this sort of window function used? (can't identify)

by Nikita Zlobin

While experimenting with window functions for spectral analyzis, I compared Hann, Sin and Lanczos. It is easy to notice, that Hann is really same as sin(x)^2. Lanczos is tiny bit better, because its sides are tiny bit smoother, compared to sin(). It seems, that unsmoothed corners between sides and zero axis for sin() is reason why sides are so high, compared to Hann. Hamming and more over Gaussian have ideal smooth sides, but narrower middle (probably this one reason why central leaf is wider for them). Just for experiment i tried to change sin(x)^2 to just sin(x)^f, where 1.0f < f < 2.0f. And it looks like any f>1 causes derivative to be =0 at zero axis. The only thing, affected by exact amount in this range, is how fast it will become zero. While it is easy to notice with Hann example, factor around 1.2 or 1.1 make it hard to notice without very deep zoom. With f=1.25 or 1.26 it nearly reproduces Lanczos, thought difference may be noticed, if plotted at the same time. Though still not have enough precise integral for weakening correction, i noticed that side leafs falldown slightly faster than for Hann. Now I'm curious, is such function is in use? I don't know how to call it for search request. E.g., after reinventing Welch window by just multiplicating y=2x with y=2-2x, I already knew it is parabola. For sin(x)/x i know it is sinc. But what is sin(x)^y, at least at some 'y' between 1 and 2 ? I feel, that this is also something reinvented. Just like writing sin(x)^2, i discovered later that it is Hann. Need help. One of professors, who are still aware of signal processing stuff, adviced me to reed this book (found localized to russian): https://www.scirp.org/(S(351jmbntvnsjt1aadkposzje))/reference/ReferencesPap… but i still have to find time to learn it (besides of deepening my math knowledge).

How do you improve optimization for integer calculations?

by Nikita Zlobin

Hello. I just have attempt, writing serious application, considering language (C), tookit (gtk3, cairo, pango, etc) and that it is audio app. Besides that many audio things use simple "float" for audio data, i noticed some posts, where tension towards integer math appeared. While it is not my case (my app is jack-based, and audio data have FP type everywhere), i slightly distracted from audio side. My app for now is spectrum analyzer, which later should evolve into couple of spectral editing helper utilities (more exactly to generate spectrogram and apply changes either by resynth or by filtering with diff spectrogram). I distracted to experiments with graphics post-processing for instant spectrum view rendering. Due to cairo nature, color data in cairo image surface may be at best argb32, rgb24 and rgb30 (for now i implemented uspport only for first two). As result post-processing is all done in integer mode. I can understand this, as i noticed that channel orders in memory depends on endianness, what points that cairo relies more on masks and bitshifts than for byte value arrays where is possible. I decided to look in debugger for how gcc does optimize these ops. Noticed following. Below is code chunk from kdbg with some asm blocks expanded. There is only one line, where i tried to use floating point ops, just for comparison (plus some context for better understanding). for (int l = 0; l < 3; l++) for (int c = 0; c < 3; c++) { unsigned char * p = bpix[l][c]; col[0] += p[0] , 0x5b27 movzbl 0x60(%rsp),%esi col[1] += p[1] , 0x5a34 movzbl 0x65(%rsp),%eax col[2] += p[2] , 0x5a42 movzbl 0x62(%rsp),%edx col[3] += p[3]; 0x5a47 movzbl 0x67(%rsp),%esi 0x5a4c mov 0x10(%rsp),%rbp } col[0] /= 9.0, col[1] /= 9.0, col[2] /= 9.0, col[3] /= 9.0; 0x5a39 pxor %xmm0,%xmm0 op[0] += col[0] , 0x5b8d add %sil,0x0(%rbp) op[1] += col[1] , 0x5b94 add %cl,0x1(%rbp) op[2] += col[2] , 0x5b97 add %dl,0x2(%rbp) op[3] += col[3]; 0x5b91 add %al,0x3(%rbp) for (int l = 0; l < 3; l++) ip[l] += 3; op += ch_n; } Notice, how line, containing chain of divisions, is compiled to single sse operation. What is interesting, this is only asm line, involving xmm or imm - i can't find anything else like mov, involving these registers. With division to integer 9 - it is still one line, but no xmm is involved. col[0] += p[0] , 0x5b17 movzbl 0x64(%rsp),%eax col[1] += p[1] , 0x5a35 movzbl 0x65(%rsp),%eax col[2] += p[2] , 0x5a4a movzbl 0x7e(%rsp),%esi col[3] += p[3]; 0x5a4f movzbl 0x7f(%rsp),%ecx } col[0] /= 9, col[1] /= 9, col[2] /= 9, col[3] /= 9; 0x5a3a mov $0x38e38e39,%r8d op[0] += col[0] , 0x5b78 add %dl,0x0(%rbp) op[1] += col[1] , 0x5b3a add %dil,0x1(%rbp) As for GCC opts, i used unusual combo "-march=native -O3 -g" in order to get exhausing optimization, but still keep it readable for kdbg disasm to get a look. While searching for info about sse integer support, search pointed me to wikipedia page about x86 instructions, where i found almost enough instruction set - logical, add, sub and mul, signed and unsigned, words and bytes (at least in SSE2 which according to description enabled MMX set to use SSE registers, where integer support was primary in MMX). So, i'm in maze - why doesn't gcc involve such ops in integer mode? Could it be possible, that what it did is better without SSE? I'm about to eventually try more FP ops in this place but unsure, about possible conversions, since source and dest are anyway cairo surfaces with integer data.

(Speaking from long experience as gigging guitarist and bassist). The GA-1 tuner I mentioned isn't a true chromatic tuner, but its ability to shift the standard guitar tunings down several semitones is very useful. In modern metal genres C or B tunings are probably more common than the standard EADGBE, so this isn't just an edge case. John

'A' note Tuning Range

by Will Godfrey

Currently in 'Scales' Yoshimi can set this anywhere between 1Hz and 2kHz, which is frankly ridiculous. This doesn't appear at all in the Scala documentation, so that's no guide. I've had suggestions ranging from +- 1/2 semitone to +- half octave as being more than enough, considering that there is also semitone master key shift covering +- 3 octaves (used to be 5!) along with a fine detune of +63 -64 cents. What have other synth people here set for this? Does anyone else actually have the setting? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
