Cook This chapter covers most means for synthesizing sounds, with an emphasis on describing the parameters available for each technique, especially as they might be useful for data sonification. The techniques are covered in progression, from the least parametric (the fewest means of modifying the resulting sound from data or controllers), to the most parametric (most flexible for manipulation).

  • Wavetable Synthesis 101, a Fundamental Perspective
    Wavetable Synthesis 101, A Fundamental Perspective Robert Bristow-Johnson Wave Mechanics, Inc. 45 Kilburn St., Burlington VT 05401 USA [email protected] ABSTRACT: Wavetable synthesis is both simple and straightforward in implementation and sophisticated and subtle in optimization. For the case of quasi-periodic musical tones, wavetable synthesis can be as compact in data storage requirements and as general as additive synthesis but requires much less real-time computation. This paper shows this equivalence, explores some suboptimal methods of extracting wavetable data from a recorded tone, and proposes a perceptually relevant error metric and constraint when attempting to reduce the amount of stored wavetable data. 0 INTRODUCTION Wavetable music synthesis (not to be confused with common PCM sample buffer playback) is similar to simple digital sine wave generation [1] [2] but extended at least two ways. First, the waveform lookup table contains samples for not just a single period of a sine function but for a single period of a more general waveshape. Second, a mechanism exists for dynamically changing the waveshape as the musical note evolves, thus generating a quasi-periodic function in time. This mechanism can take on a few different forms, probably the simplest being linear crossfading from one wavetable to the next sequentially. More sophisticated methods are proposed by a few authors (recently Horner, et al. [3] [4]) such as mixing a set of well chosen basis wavetables each with their corresponding envelope function as in Fig. 1. The simple linear crossfading method can be thought of as a subclass of the more general basis mixing method where the envelopes are overlapping triangular pulse functions.

  • Product Informations Product Informations
    Product Informations Product Informations A WORD ABOUT SYNTHESIS A - Substractive (or analog) synthesis (usually called “Analog” because it was the synthesis you could find on most of the first analog synthesizers). It starts out with a waveform rich in harmonics, such as a saw or square wave, and uses filters to make the finished sound. Here are the main substractive synthesis components : Oscillators: The device creating a soundwave is usually called an oscillator. The first synthesizers used analog electronic oscillator circuits to create waveforms. These units are called VCO's (Voltage Controlled Oscillator). More modern digital synthesizers use DCO's instead (Digitally Controlled Oscillators). A simple oscillator can create one or two basic waveforms - most often a sawtooth-wave - and a squarewave. Most synthesizers can also create a completely random waveform - a noise wave. These waveforms are very simple and completely artificial - they hardly ever appear in the nature. But you would be surprised to know how many different sounds can be achieved by only using and combining these waves. 2 / 17 Product Informations Filters: To be able to vary the basic waveforms to some extent, most synthesizers use filters. A filter is an electronic circuit, which works by smoothing out the "edges" of the original waveform. The Filter section of a synthesizer may be labled as VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) or DCF (Digitally Controlled Filter). A Filter is used to remove frequencies from the waveform so as to alter the timbre. •Low-Pass Filters allows the lower frequencies to pass through unaffected and filters out (or blocks out) the higher frequencies.

MIDI data is a very efficient method of representing musical performance information, and this makes MIDI an attractive protocol not only for composers or performers, but also for computer applications which produce sound, such as multimedia presentations or computer games. However, the lack of standardization of synthesizer capabilities hindered applications developers and presented new MIDI users with a rather steep learning curve to overcome. Fortunately, thanks to the publication of the General MIDI System specification, wide acceptance of the most common PC/MIDI interfaces, support for MIDI in Microsoft WINDOWS and other operating systems, and the evolution of low-cost music synthesizers, the MIDI protocol is now seeing widespread use in a growing number of applications.

  • PPG Wave 3.V
    PRESS RELEASE • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • 02/12/10 CONTACT For review samples please e-mail: [email protected] For Waldorf Music info contact: [email protected] PPG Wave 3.V Waldorf releases new soft synth plug-in Waldorf, GERMANY: Waldorf Music is proud to announce availability of its new PPG Wave 3.V soft synth plug-in as of December 2, 2010… The PPG Wave 3.V is a virtual recreation of the legendary PPG Wave series, arguably amongst the most coveted high-end synthesizers of the Eighties. Originally developed by Wolfgang Palm — famed for inventing wavetable synthesis (whereby groups of short, single-cycle waves can be swept digitally from one to the next — a wavetable in PPG-speak), their unique, groundbreaking sounds graced countless hit records that have since inspired a whole generation of producers, composers, and listeners alike. While a full-blown PPG Music Computer System originally cost somewhere in the region of a classy, luxury car — affordable only to a few top musicians and producers, now anyone can enjoy these still-unique sounds in their favourite VST or AU host DAW at a fraction of that price! In 1981, the PPG Wave 2 was the first digital wavetable synthesizer — an eight-voice, one-oscillator- per-voice affair — with analogue filters and VCAs; upping the ante to two oscillators per voice, the eight-voice PPG Wave 2.2 made history a year later with hitherto-unheard sensational sound patterns, thanks to its 32 wavetables with 64 waveforms in each wavetable, as well as awesome analogue sounds, brilliant bells, cathedral-like choirs, and other digital delights.
