Do I understand you right, something like this: "go from sound sample to a bunch of MIDI, each MIDI tuned to each of your synthesizers, which will then reproduce the sample as faithfully as possible" ?

Something like that would indeed be very cool. Hope I understood you correctly.

Yes, exactly. The AI would analyze the sample and then re-create the patches based on the synthesizer engine, in use .. so for example, I give it a sample of a bell, and it goes ahead and reproduces that bell, as close as possible, on the Yamaha DX7 FM engine, meaning that I not only get a playable patch (not a sample, which is often dead-sounding) but can also then alter the parameters using the synth engine itself.

Like I said, Aphex Twin had a project like this a few years back:

.. but it ran into some limitations - I'd love to see this updated with modern AI techniques.
