Tools and demo for transients

[samuel-clarke]

I've been working with this library for a few weeks now, and I thought there was nothing I couldn't do with this. But I've recently been trying to synthesize sounds where the transient component is essential. The core.oscillator_bank, FilteredNoise, and the current SpectralLoss don't seem to be sufficient.

Perhaps the tools I need are already there, and I just don't know what I'm doing. Either way, it would be great if you included an instrument where the transients are really important, such as a drum set, somewhere in your demos or tutorials. Thanks for all your great work!

Agreed! Transients are definitely an important avenue for more research and there are a few ways that might work to go about it (For example, adding the oscillator output to a smaller more conventional CNN that generates waveform directly), but we haven't had time to focus on this yet.

It might be valuable for you to check out the following paper.

It details a solution for the transient problem.
