Call For Papers - CFP

have greatly expanded the palette of artistic expression by

creating a myriad of new possibilities for music and sound

creation and manipulation, as well as music listening. Home

recording studios have greatly benefited, as virtually all of

the tools needed for music production are now available

as inexpensive software. In addition to generating abstract

“electronic” sounds, modern synthesis techniques can convincingly

simulate many wind, string and percussion instruments,

and work on the singing voice is generating promising

results. Artificial reverberation, pitch shifting, equalization,

dynamic range compression, and other audio signal processing

techniques in turn have enabled specializedmanipulation

of recorded and synthetic sounds for artistic as well as fixative

purposes. Sophisticated compression, noise canceling,

equalization, and bass enhancement algorithms can provide

noise-free, high-quality audio for portable music players.

The ongoing pursuit for both creative and realistic sounds

and processing nowadays includes real-time sound synthesis

and control, spatial sound, and realistic emulation of analog

and vintage effects devices and synthesizers, especially with

strongly nonlinear and time-varying behavior. The aim of

this special issue is to present current research advances in

real-time musical signal processing applications. Prospective

papers should be unpublished, and present novel, fundamental

research offering innovative contributions from a

methodological or an application perspective. The expected

scope ofmanuscripts for this special issue includes, but is not

limited to:

? Sound synthesis techniques and synthesis control

? Musical instrument and singing voice synthesis

? Equalization and filtering, dynamic range compression,

delay and distortion algorithms

? Virtual analog and vintage audio effects

? Reverberation synthesis, measurement and perception

? Analysis of musical instrument sounds for real-time

synthesis

? Performance gesture measurement, analysis and synthesis

? Active noise control in portable music players

? Microphone and loudspeaker arrays

? Bandwidth expansion and bass enhancement

? Music loudness estimation

? Synthesis and computer music languages

? Audio coding

? Hardware and software implementations

Before submission authors should carefully read over the

journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/asp/guidelines.html . Prospective authors

should submit an electronic copy of their complete

manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System

at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following

timetable:
