Procedural audio, a method of generating sound from scratch using computational processes, offers a promising approach to creating sound effects, often referred to as "digital Foley". Despite its potential, research and optimisation of procedural audio has been limited by a lack of publicly available samples and models. This paper presents a dataset of synthetic audio samples designed to advance research in sound synthesis. By providing access to different synthesis methods and facilitating the development of evaluation techniques, this dataset aims to enable researchers, audio developers and sound designers to optimise and extend procedural audio applications. 

We are releasing 6,000 synthetic samples as a public dataset, a total of 2.56 GB and divided into  30 categories each one containing 100 samples . Each sample is named in the following format:

"Name of the sound category" - "Sample number" - "Label"

程序化音频（procedural audio）是一种通过计算流程从零生成声音的技术，为音效创作提供了极具前景的解决方案，常被称为“数字拟音（digital Foley）”。尽管该技术潜力巨大，但由于缺乏公开可用的样本与模型，程序化音频的研究与优化一直受到限制。本论文提出一款合成音频样本数据集，旨在推动声音合成（sound synthesis）领域的研究进展。通过提供多样化的合成方法支持，并助力评估技术的开发，本数据集旨在帮助研究人员、音频开发者与音效设计师优化并拓展程序化音频的应用场景。

我们将发布6000条合成音频样本作为公开数据集，总容量达2.56 GB，分为30个类别，每个类别包含100条样本。每条样本的命名格式如下：
“声音类别名称”-“样本编号”-“标签”
