Owner's Manual Owner’s Manual AC DC AC & BATTERY POWERED FET Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of BOSS SYB-5 Bass Synthesizer. Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (separate sheet). These sections provide important information con- cerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature pro- vided by your new unit, this manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. A battery is supplied with the unit. The life of this battery may be limited, however, since its primary purpose was to enable testing. Copyright © 2004 BOSS CORPORATION All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without the written permission of BOSS CORPORATION. 2 Main Features ● This compact effect creates a variety of bass synthesizer sounds. ● This unit features a dual-system bass synthesizer, which creates sounds in two different ways, and 11 modes to produce a variety of sound characteristics. ● Features a mode that the changes the filter, synchronizing it with the internal LFO. This is useful for creating techno sounds. ● One mode uses an all-pass filter, allowing you to create a whole new synth sound that has a sense of depth and motion. ● The Hold function allows you to output effect sounds (synthesizer sound) continuously while you keep the pedal down. (This applies when the Mode is set to 1–9.) ● In the stereo output mode, the effect sound (synthesizer sound) and direct sound can be output separately. ● The SYB-5 not only works with four-string basses, it is compatible with five- and six-string basses as well (the range for detecting pitch is A0–C5). ● Equipped with Expression/Control jack. You can connect an expression pedal (the optional Roland EV-5) and use it to switch the bass synth sounds. 3 Panel Descriptions fig.01 1.

  • USING MICROPHONE ARRAYS to RECONSTRUCT MOVING SOUND SOURCES for AURALIZATION 1 Introduction
    USING MICROPHONE ARRAYS TO RECONSTRUCT MOVING SOUND SOURCES FOR AURALIZATION Fanyu Meng, Michael Vorlaender Institute of Technical Acoustics, RWTH Aachen University, Germany {[email protected]) Abstract Microphone arrays are widely used for sound source characterization as well as for moving sound sources. Beamforming is one of the post processing methods to localize sound sources based on microphone array in order to create a color map (the so-called “acoustic camera”). The beamformer response lies on the array pattern, which is influenced by the array shape. Irregular arrays are able to avoid the spatial aliasing which causes grating lobes and degrades array performance to find the spatial positions of sources. With precise characteristics from the beamformer output, the sources can be reconstructed regarding not only spatial distribution but also spectra. Therefore, spectral modeling methods, e.g. spectral modeling synthesis (SMS) can be combined to the previous results to obtain source signals for auralization. In this paper, we design a spiral microphone array to obtain a specific frequency range and resolution. Besides, an unequal-spacing rectangular array is developed as well to compare the performance with the spiral array. Since the second array is separable, Kronecker Array Transform (KAT) can be used to accelerate the beamforming calculation. The beamforming output can be optimized by using deconvolution approach to remove the array response function which is convolved with source signals. With the reconstructed source spectrum generated from the deconvolved beamforming output, the source signal is synthesized separately from tonal and broadband components. Keywords: auralization, synthesizer, microphone arrays, beamforming, SMS PACS no.

  • How to Effectively Listen and Enjoy a Classical Music Concert
    HOW TO EFFECTIVELY LISTEN AND ENJOY A CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT 1. INTRODUCTION Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available to human beings. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the musicians as they create it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live. This guide focuses on classical music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual. It can also scare you to death. Classical music concerts can seem like snobby affairs full of foreign terminology and peculiar behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. Not to worry. Concerts are no weirder than any other pastime, and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than, say, the stock market, football, or system software upgrades. If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been baffled by concerts, this guide will explain the rigmarole so you can relax and enjoy the music. 2. THE LISTENER'S JOB DESCRIPTION Classical music concerts can seem intimidating. It seems like you have to know a lot.
