Abstract
There is provided a sound synthesis apparatus. The apparatus comprises a transceiver configured to obtain a plurality of sound samples; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: preprocess each sound sample to convert each sound sample into a spectrogram; generate a plurality of latent codes by inputting the spectrogram of each sound sample to an encoder of an artificial neural network pre-trained to output a latent code that maximizes timbre information; generate one synthesized latent code by synthesizing the plurality of latent codes based on a weight present for each sound sample; and generate a synthesized sound by inputting the synthesized latent code to a decoder of the pre-trained artificial neural network.
