Where is a synthesizer that can "listen" to another synth and then recreate that sound?

I think it is an interessting idea. Just typing what comes to my mind ... If you want to recreate an sound perfectly then it's quite a task to do, because your training set has to be hugh. What do I mean by that - You have to take into consideration that you have quite a lot of parameters like note, velocity, modulation wheel, pedal, note lenght etc. which might change the sound. So for faithfully recreating the source sound you need to go through all notes multiplied by all velocities multiplied by all modulation wheel setting multiplied by ... to name just a few dimensions. And then you have to choose parameters are adjusted in your target synth. I would say what you probably want is really deep sampling. Just my 2 cents without thinking too much.

Project Magenta is doing interesting work in this area combining machine learning with additive synthesis. The style transfer audio demos aren't exactly 'natural', but they're enormously impressive nontheless.

now this is awesome

It might be surprising what solutions and tricks a program comes up with in order to recreate a sound on another synth that uses a very different type of synthesis.
Reminds me of the Go computer program that came up with moves humans had never thought of before.

I put Bones in my ignore list. Is it possible to hide that notification of "BONES, who is currently on your ignore list, made this post"?
I'm just happier if I don't even know about his existence.

I'm sorry, there is no way to stop you from seeing other peoples quotes and if they quote someone on your mute list there's not much that can be done. :shrug:

Back on-topic ... we're looking for a Mike Yarwood / Rory Bremner plugin yeah? Seems like a real lazy arsed way of making sounds to me. :shrug:

i like zampler. low cpu, feature set, workflow and the gui.....
best of all, still works in WinXP! :party:

I have one. Yes, it is basically a real-time additive resynthesizer, but the reconstructed signal isn’t very close to the original. For non-realtime, several plugins have already been mentioned. I particularly like Arturia’s Synclavier V.
I can confirm that the signal going through the Panharmonium will be heavily processed and not very close to the original. But if “very close” is not your goal, the Panharmonium is a great source of sounds processing live feed. On the clip below, the resulting sound is far away from the incoming full mix audio, but that was made on purpose, trying to get entirely new sounds from a given sound source. Link to the original mix in the video page, in case you want to compare original and processed sound.

YOU are the synthesizer to do that.
Seriously that's a thing humans will always do better than AI.

And the reason is there are too many variables to try and capture.

My suggestion is keep learning synthesis, and let your ears do the walking.
