The hearing of sampled sounds, and FFT-looped samples as such willreveal, especially though reflections and audio effects *how* the samples repeat, the loops have been welded and the FFt and interpolation have changed the character of the harmonics, unless the various jobs have been done well, w

Great, I'm glad you liked it. You might also like the FFT article, http://www.earlevel.com/main/2002/08/31/a-gentle-introduction-to-the-fft or at least I hope some of that is helpful. The main point I'd want to you take is that the transform is probing with a sine and cosine, and those two phase

Somehow, we are talking about different things maybe? In what I'm talking about, the key is that "n" is not integer, for most practical filters used for this purpose. Robert, when I said "only for half-band", I was talking about specific case, not general (in the context of the earlier discussi

Happy Holidays Everyone! I wanted to ask a question provoked by reading the SuperCollider Users' mailing list, which had me thinking I didn't understand the underlying concepts that were being discussed. I went back and looked at stuff like Hamming's _Digital Filters_ and Oppenheim's _Signals
