Hi all,

I'd like to write a wiki at some point about the topic of 'organic-sounding' synthesis. I'd like to collect a master list of ideas here in this forum and then start the wiki by cut/paste later, which can then be edited, of course. The idea is to collect as much information into one place about how to make beautiful-sounding, organic-sounding synthesis.

So, how about we start the discussion?

What are the ways you find to produce 'organic' sounds? We can break down these broad sub-categories with specific details

* Physical modelling techniques
* Sampling
* Additive synthesis with dynamic modulation
* Additive band-limited noise partials, or 'LORIS' techniques
* Spectral/PVS techniques
* Dynamic subtractive synthesis with band-limited noise, or 'buzz', etc.
* Dynamic PM or FM

Anyway, I invite you to start the discussion. :)

I had an idea some time ago for a more general database describing
electronic music techniques in a far more general case, including both
synthesis and processing. The idea was to have any kind of sound
represented, so you could for example look up a specific
electroacoustic sound, or sounds like common dx7 or analog synthesis
patches or studio processes and see examples and information about how
they work, and how they could be created using various common software
and equipment as well as signal flow graphs. Obviously a big project,
but it would be a very cool resource. A more specific collection would
be great too.
