Aargh come on Google, how about you do some research first with some long-standing audio research institutions. Cross-synthesis isn't going to sound particularly new because it's been around for decades.
Case in point: AudioSculpt manual, IRCAM 1996 (p62) (Second edition!)

Machine learning is gonna give us some awesome new sounds but you've got to do your research first on what's been done.
- 8bitsrule 9y agoYep. Simply put, what makes traditional instruments popular is the richness of their sounds, and how they enable the musician's expressiveness. Great traditional musicians don't switch between instruments, they mine the sonic possibilities of the one they're holding. That personal thing touches the audience, and reputation is built on it. Of all the computer synths I tried out back in the day, Absynth was a standout. BUT it's hard to 'get physical' with a computer keyboard ... let alone a finger on a tablet. When the technology gets in the way, musicians run away.
- rtkwe 9y agoSeems like google goes way beyond what the AudioSculpt was able to do [0] which seems largely like using the exact waveform of one input to modulate the other in a number of ways. Feels a world apart from what Google did in Magenta. [0] https://youtu.be/w24YKVsS-fA?t=98 https://youtu.be/w24YKVsS-fA?t=98
