Project Overview

The IDM Latent Space project transforms high-dimensional synthesizer preset data into compact, machine learning-friendly representations. By analyzing Access Virus and Osiris synthesizer presets, the system creates reduced-dimensional spaces (32D, 64D, 128D) that preserve musical characteristics while enabling AI applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Your First Analysis

  1. Prepare Files - Place `osiris_preset.syx` and `osiris_all_presets.syx` in project directory

Core Concepts

Synthesizer Presets

Synthesizer presets are collections of parameter settings that define a sound. The IDM Latent Space project focuses on:

  • Access Virus - Popular virtual analog synthesizer with 384 parameters
  • Osiris - Virus-compatible synthesizer with similar parameter structure
  • SysEx Format - System Exclusive MIDI data containing preset information

Latent Space Representation

Latent space refers to a compressed representation that captures the essential characteristics of the original data:

Original Space Latent Space Compression Ratio
384 parameters 32 dimensions 8.3% (12:1)
384 parameters 64 dimensions 16.7% (6:1)
384 parameters 128 dimensions 33.3% (3:1)

Importance Weighting

Parameters are weighted by musical significance:

Use Cases

Research Applications

  • Music Information Retrieval - Analyze large preset databases
  • Generative Modeling - Train VAEs/GANs for preset generation
  • Classification Tasks - Automatic genre and style detection
  • Clustering Analysis - Discover preset families and relationships

Creative Applications

  • Preset Interpolation - Morph between different sounds
  • Smart Recommendations - Find similar presets automatically
  • Educational Tools - Understand synthesizer programming principles
  • DAW Integration - Import analysis results into music production workflows

Technical Applications

  • Model Training - Use vectors as input features for ML models
  • Similarity Search - Find presets with similar characteristics
  • Dimensionality Visualization - Plot preset relationships in 2D/3D
  • Data Augmentation - Generate synthetic training data
