Subject[Csnd] spectrum analysis
How would I take a recording of a cello playing a specific note, and
do some kind of spectrum analysis so that I can make the same timbre
by setting up a table with those harmonics?

Thanks,
Dennis

Hello,

The problem is that "timbre" depends on time varying aspects of sound, and not just the relative strength of the harmonic partials.

To follow up with a more useful post. To synthesis the timbre of cello you need to be able to recreate the way in which the partials change over time, which means breaking the sound into a sequence of frames (or snapshots) and analysing the spectral content of each frame. The data can then be used to realise a time-varying resynthesis.

Note that not all sounds can be successfully analysed into a set of sinusoidal partials: this particularly applies to noisy non-pitched sounds.    

You can do spectral analysis/resynthesis in Csound using a variety of different methods:

The spectrum of real musical instruments can be very complex. It changes
depending on how load you play it, how you play it etc.

Dear Victor and Jaochim,

What a great paper, fantastic video tutorial, and fabulously inspiring instrument!

WOW.

Wish I could have made it to the Linux Audio Conference, but I am so happy that these videos and papers are being shared.

Wonderful.

I'm late to the game and perhaps slightly off topic, but I do have an
example bowed string additive synth that might be of interest:

Jake,

A very nice and very expressive additive instrument.
Thanks for sharing.

Your new CodeHop Blog is super too.
