General didactic synopsis including two approaches inspired by the representational-
computational and enactive paradigms from cognitive neuroscience, the associated viewpoints for
sound synthesis (modelling of physical sources and modelling of perceptual effects) and sound
control (expert and intuitive control). A prospective view on the use of BCI in the context of sound
synthesis control is also illustrated
descriptions of the sound source and the sound descriptors (damping, inharmonicity,
roughness, etc.) characterizing perceptually relevant sound morphologies. The
second one focuses on the relationships between sound descriptors and synthesis
parameters (damping coef
cient, amplitude and frequency of the components).
Sounds from continuous interactions
: Control strategies for the synthesis
processes of such sounds have recently been developed. In particular, an intuitive
control strategy adapted to a non-linear friction sound model (producing phe-
nomena such a creaky door, a singing glass or a squeaking wet plate) has been
