I am starting to think... using your system's limits... You could design a basic datatype for these. A set of the most basic variables you use every time you make one of these. Durations, fundementals, spectrum shape... vibrato widths and frequencies. The "basic" variables would not necessaily capture your whole work flow... but at least give a very clear jumping off point.
It's true, there will be a number of factors that will be similar between a lot of bird sounds! I haven't yet explored it personally, but I reckon the basic concepts used here could be usable to design custom bird sounds not based on any specific real-world birds. I suppose part of what interests me about this is finding out what causes a sound to sound "bird-like" as opposed to sounding obviously synthetic. Thanks for watching!
Just had a listen and they sound great! A bit like sounds that some gulls make I reckon. I have a general plan for what birds I'll cover in the next 2 or 3 videos, which are intended to progressively get more complex so that the series is easy to learn from when viewed in order. For the time being these will mostly be birds that are familiar to me in real life, but I'll probably branch out a bit more eventually!
Idk how I ended up here with my algorithm but this 9 mins got me through with working Thank you 🙏
white bellbird pls :D
Love those things - they kinda already sound like a synthesiser!

Taking requests? Limpkin... I call it the electric guitar bird.
