There are two kind of oscillators I like to talk about. 1) harmonic generators
Easy thing, for generating a waveform you choose a parameter for each harmonic, that says with how much percent it should be added to the resulting wave. With that its possible to generate every waveform you like, but its more intuitive than "painting" a wave on the screen. With this equalizer-like form you create sound with certain overwave-spectrum which you can handle quite more easy as just with substractive soundshaping through filters. Its additive soundshaping. 2) the graintable synthesizer I discovered this sort of synthesizer in reason. You put together 5-100 ms long short microsamples. Let repeat some of these grains. And in the end you get a very complex sound that would be impossible to synthesize with osc, fm or substractive or additive synth. I work that out, but you can do such mindbending complex sounds like didgeridoos with that. Didgeridoos, dig it? I want that. Definitly. best regards Hanno _______________________________________________ beast mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/beast
