GLM, a Japanese electric car maker affiliated with Roland, wanted to create the most sonically realistic driving experience ever for their ZZ electric roadster. They turned to Kyoto University, who created a custom sound generator based on their “SuperNATURAL” sound technology. In the car, a black box with its own adjustable volume reads your driving and synthesizes the appropriate sounds in real time, and may also pump the sound outside for increased pedestrian safety.
