Crate aether_timbre 

Aether Timbre Transfer Engine

Makes one instrument sound like another using spectral envelope matching.

How it works

1. Analysis — Extract the spectral envelope (timbre fingerprint) of the target instrument from a reference recording using LPC or cepstral analysis.

2. Transfer — When processing a source signal (e.g. guitar), apply the target’s spectral envelope while preserving the source’s pitch and dynamics.

3. Result — The output sounds like the target instrument played with the expressiveness of the source.

Use cases

• You have a guitar but want it to sound like a Krar (Ethiopian lyre)
• You have a piano but want it to sound like a Sitar
• You want to create entirely new hybrid instruments
• You want to generate synthetic samples for the instrument maker without recording the actual instrument

Modules

analysis

Spectral analysis — extract the timbre fingerprint of an instrument.

node

TimbreTransferNode — integrates timbre transfer into the AetherDSP graph.

synthesizer

Instrument synthesizer — generate synthetic samples for the instrument maker when you don’t have the actual instrument to record.

transfer

Timbre transfer — apply a target instrument’s spectral envelope to a source signal.
