Introduction

Research on musical timbre typically seeks representations of the perceptual
structure inherent in a set of sounds that
have implications for expressive control over the sounds in composition and
performance. With digital analysis-based
sound synthesis and with experiments on tone quality perception, we can obtain
representations of sounds that
suggest ways to provide low-dimensional control over their perceptually
important properties.
