Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 16
Learning
In the previous article we saw what subtractive synthesis, the most widespread method of synthetic sound creation, is all about and we saw that it's based on the sound production and manipulation mod…

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 11
Learning
In the previous article, we saw how the evolution of polyphony required ─ and, hence, lead to ─ the introduction of computing in the design of sound synthesis devices. We also saw that the arrival of…

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 10
Learning
In the previous article we saw how a voice is defined in sound synthesis and how it can gather several oscillators without that necessarily meaning that the synthesizer in question is polyphonic.

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 9
Learning
In the previous articles we saw what makes up a synthesizer's basic sound chain: Oscillators, followed by filters and an amplifier, plus envelopes to control them. We also saw that an oscillator can…

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 8
Learning
We have started to study the way in which you can create a sound with the aid of a hardware or virtual synthesizer. But, how does sound ─ which is up to now a combination of voltages or binary data p…

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 7
Learning
Today we'll deal with another element that is essential to sound synthesis: Filters. They are widely used in subtractive synthesis, which is the most widespread form of synthesis, making filters pret…

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 6
Learning
Today we'll begin our exploration of the different elements that constitute a synthesizer. "It's about time!," I hear some of you say... And it's true, but it's important to have a theoretical backgr…

Sound synthesis, sound design and audio processing - Part 5
Learning
In the previous article, we explored sounds based on waveforms with more or less harmonics, but they all had one thing in common: They were periodic. As we saw, if you refer to periodic cycle, you re…
