Name: Additive Synthesis Techniques
ID: m15445
Language: English (en)
Summary: Additive synthesis creates complex sounds by adding together individual sinusoidal signals called "partials." In this module you will learn how to synthesize audio waveforms by designing the frequency and amplitude trajectories of the partials. LabVIEW programming techniques for additive synthesis will also be introduced in two examples.
Subject: Science and Technology
Keywords: additive synthesis, amplitude trajectory, frequency trajectory, LabVIEW, octave space, partial
