Musical Signal Processing with LabVIEW -- Additive Synthesis

Collection type: Course

Course by: Ed Doering

Collection Properties

Summary: Additive synthesis creates complex sounds by adding together individual sinusoidal signals called partials. A partial's frequency and amplitude are each time-varying functions, so a partial is a more flexible version of the harmonic associated with a Fourier series decomposition of a periodic waveform. Learn about partials, how to model the timbre of natural instruments, various sources of control information for partials, and how to make a sinusoidal oscillator with an instantaneous frequency that varies with time. This course is part of the series "Musical Signal Processing with LabVIEW".
