Download Quality Audio Prototyping: A Prototype System for Unified Sound Retrieval and Procedural Generation This paper presents Quality Audio Prototyping (QAP), a unified prototype system for sound retrieval and procedural generation. The system is designed to support rapid exploration of sound effects through a common interface that combines retrieval from existing audio collections with controllable procedural synthesis. By bringing these two paradigms together, QAP allows users to search for recorded sounds, generate new material, and iteratively refine results within a single workflow. The prototype emphasizes usability, extensibility, and practical sound-design applications, providing a foundation for future work on integrated retrieval and generation systems.
