ALso, there's the fundamental frequency I select in the Score file that has to be considered. A 25-Hz or 30-Hz will alias differently than a 6.3-kHz wave. I'll just filter and shape it all to heck til I get my Sawtooth shaped the way I like it. Add and LFO, delay, and some other effects and the fun really starts. Using just what I have here so far would be way too bland. -Partev ============================================================================ --- Victor.Lazzarini@nuim.ie wrote: From: Victor Lazzarini |

Hi Partev, It doesn't quite work to filter an already aliased signal. Hence the need for a band-limited oscillator. The alias/foldover of the signal happens BEFORE the filter, so the artifact frequencies will be there before it enters the filter chain. Once those freqs are present, there is little to be done, including filtering. So, again, the best thing to do is to not create a dirty signal to begin with. One should either: 1) implement a rich waveform as a sum of sines that doesn't go above Nyquist. or 2) don't worry about the details and just use vco2. This was mentioned I think by Victor L. and others already. I prefer the latter, for ease :) Why is there GEN7, etc, then? Well, I suppose it's still useful for LFO modulation and enveloping....

with ftgenonce, you could dynamically change the number of partials used for each of a given number of frequency bands, and re-generate the wavetable as required, but only if required, during performance. Regards, Mike On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 11:18 AM, Aaron Krister Johnson |

This is true, but for 99% of applications, wouldn't vco2 suffice? :) AKJ On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 12:09 PM, Michael Gogins <michael.gogins@gmail.com> wrote: with ftgenonce, you could dynamically change the number of partials -- Aaron Krister Johnson http://www.akjmusic.com http://www.untwelve.org |
