Hey hey,
for a project, I would like to mode or better approximate the basic sound of 
an electric motor, as found in regional trains. Here's an example on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qf-3P4mALA
This particular motor has certain frequency jumps in its early phase, which 
don't concern me. But would you have any practical ideas of 
simulating/approximating this?

I thought of simple sine waves, but short experiments proved very meagre.

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette

Hm, I have found it difficult to translate PD source code into Csound,
not being able to see the graphical representation of said code. That
tells you how bad a programmer I am. :(

I have come across this book more than once and I'm interested in it. It
sounds fascinating, but I am afraid - as mentioned - that I wouldn't be
able to gain many practical knowledge from it, withouth outside
assistence.

Best wishes and thank you,

Jeanette

No need. Depending on OS and used software at least the book reading can
vary between quite easy and almost impossible. As for PD, well it does
at least have almost readable code.

Best wishes and I'm looking forward to your reworked example,

Jeanette

Hi Rory,
thank you for both your CSD and the suggestion for the AM. I already tried 
that, but maybe I gave up too quickly. Thinking further about it, a little 
room/delay might increase the realism...

Best wishes,

Jeanette

A number of the examples from the Designing Sound book have been
translated to SuperCollider:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Designing_Sound_in_SuperCollider

which could be useful. (Not sure if you use SC3 at all Jeanette.)

I don't, but I dabbled in it and found it much tamer than PD. :) Thanks
for that tip!

Best wishes,
