  • A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits

    A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits

    A Nonlinear Analysis Framework for Electronic Synthesizer Circuits Fran¸cois Georges Germain Department of Music Research McGill University Montreal, Canada October 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. c 2011 Fran¸cois Georges Germain i Abstract This thesis presents a theoretical and experimental study of the nonlinear behaviour of analog synthesizers’ effects. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and complete current research on nonlinear system modelling, both in and out of the field of music technology. The cases of single-input and multiple-input effects are considered. We first present an electronic analysis of the circuits of common examples of analog effects such as Moog’s lowpass filter and Bode’s ring modulator, extracting the equations of each system. We then discuss the results of experiments made on these systems in order to extract qualitative information about the distortion found in the system input-output relationship. Secondly, we look at the literature for methods used to model single-input nonlinear systems, and we investigate the opportunities to extend these techniques to multi-input systems. We focus on two different modelling approaches. The black-box approach seeks to model the input-output transfer function of the system as closely as possible without any particular assumption on the system. The circuit modelling approach uses the knowledge of electronic component behaviour to extract a transfer function from the known circuit of the system. The results of both approaches are compared to our experiments in order to evaluate their accuracy, identify flaws and, when possible, suggest potential improvements of the methods.

Paralelno sa ovim razvojem, praćena je i nit njegovog „preseka“ sa umetničkim muzičkim poljem, koja se manifestovala formiranjem interdisciplinarne umetničke prakse računarske muzike koju stvaraju muzički inženjeri – kompozitori koji vladaju i veštinama programiranja i digitalne sinteze zvuka. Kako bi se muzički sistemi i teorije preveli u računarske programe, bilo je neophodno sakupiti i obraditi veliku količinu podataka, te je uspostavljena i zajednička humanistička disciplina – computational musicology. Tokom osamdesetih godina na umetničku scenu stupa nova generacija autora koji na računaru postepeno počinju da obavljaju sve više poslova, te se pojava „kućnih“ računara poklapa sa „prelaskom“ iz modernizma u postmodernizam, pa i ideja muzičkog inženjeringa takođe proživljava transformaciju iz objektivističke, sistematske autonomne

M.C. van der Voort Ing. P. van Passel Peter Kirn ii iii ABSTRACT A design of a new type of electronic instrument was made to allow usage in a setting previously not suitable for these types of instrument. Following an open-ended design brief, an analysis of the Meeblip market, synthesizer design literature and three case-studies, a new usage scenario was chosen. The scenario describes a situation of spontaneous music creation at an outside location. A rapidly iterating design process produced a wooden, semi-computational operated synthesizer which has an integrated power supply, amplifier and speaker. Care was taken to allow for rich and musical interaction as well as making the sound quality of the instrument on a similar level as acoustic instruments. Keywords: Synthesizer design, Electronics design, Open source, Arduino, Meeblip, Interaction design SAMENVATTING (DUTCH) Een ontwerp is gemaakt voor een nieuw type elektronisch muziek instrument welke gebruikt kan worden in een setting die eerder niet geschikt was voor elektronische instrumenten.
