SimScene.py is a collection of tools to synthesize an audio scene from independent sound events. 

It is inspired by Lagrange et al. simScene (https://bitbucket.org/mlagrange/simscene) but takes

a different direction. The goal of simScene.py is to (1) have a python implementation of such a 

system since python is the platform of choice for developers accustomed with deep learning packages

or other python package candy and (2) to allow generating audio scenes from graph-based patterns.

The original simscene.m is used in the following paper:

Lafay, G., Lagrange, M., Rossignol, M., Benetos, E. and Roebel, A., 2016. 

A morphological model for simulating acoustic scenes and its application to sound event detection. 

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 24(10), pp.1854-1864.

Usage examples:

      *	./simscene.py -h

      Displays command line syntax and option descriptions.

      * ./simscene.py ../simscene-input/sound ../simscene-output 15 -e ../simscene-input/forest_events.txt -vv

      Reads sounds from `../simscene-input/sound', and creates a 15 second scene of events. Event options are given in ../simscene-input/forest_events.txt. Finally, generates and displays plots (waveforms, spectrograms and piano rolls). Saves everything to ../simscene-output.
