sound synthesis
21Digital waveguide synthesis — is the synthesis of audio using a digital waveguide. Digital waveguides are efficient computational models for physical media through which acoustic waves propagate. For this reason, digital waveguides constitute a major part of most modern… …
22Physical modelling synthesis — In sound synthesis, physical modelling synthesis refers to methods in which the waveform of the sound to be generated is computed by using a mathematical model, being a set of equations and algorithms to simulate a physical source of sound,… …
23Subtractive synthesis — is a method of subtracting harmonic content from a sound via sound synthesis, characterised by the application of an audio filter to an audio signal. For example, taking the output of a sawtooth generator and using a low pass filter to dampen its …
24Distortion synthesis — is a group of sound synthesis techniques which modify existing sounds to produce more complex sounds (or timbres), usually by using non linear circuits or mathematics.[1] While some synthesis methods achieve sonic complexity by using many… …
25Comparison of audio synthesis environments — Software audio synthesis environments typically consist of an audio programming language (which may be graphical) and a user environment to design/run the language in. Although many of these environments are comparable in their abilities to… …
26Granular synthesis — is a basic sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale. It is often based on the same principles as sampling but often includes analog technology. The samples are not used directly however, they are split in small pieces of… …
27Concatenative synthesis — is a technique for synthesising sounds by concatenating short samples of recorded sound (called units). The duration of the units is not strictly defined and may vary according to the implementation, roughly in the range of 10 milliseconds up to… …
28Symbolic Sound Corporation — was founded by Carla Scaletti and Kurt J. Hebel in 1989 as a spinoff of the CERL Sound Group at the Computer based Education Research Laboratory of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Originally named Kymatics , the company was… …
29Kyma (sound design language) — Kyma is a visual programming language for sound design used by musicians, researchers, and sound designers. In Kyma, a user programs a multiprocessor DSP by graphically connecting modules on the screen of a Macintosh or Windows… …
30Banded waveguide synthesis — Banded Waveguides Synthesis is a physical modeling synthesis method to simulate sounds of dispersive sounding objects, or objects with strongly inharmonic resonant frequencies efficiently. It can be used to model the sound of instruments based on …
