basic vst synth overview?

aaronpeacock — Wed, 10 Mar 2004 11:31:29 GMT

has anyone here implemented a vst synth before?
if so- can you give me a basic overview of the different processing blocks / the abstract architecture of how to code a synth. say a simple monophonic subtractive synth with say a sawtooth wav for the oscillator...
feel free to elaborate or take this topic and make a straw to drink margarita's out of.

FIR help

GlennLasher — Thu, 04 May 2006 17:58:33 GMT

Having googled this to death....

Can someone please explain to me, in the plainest english possible, how to calculate coefficients for an FIR filter? Given a general idea of what frequency I want at the top and bottom of the passband, and only really caring a little bit about what the transition bandwidth is, how does one, step by step, create the coefficients?

My suspicion is that you create sine waves at some regular frequency interval between the low and high, and then mix and normalise somehow. Can someone validate/confirm this for me? Also, if this is the case, should the progression of frequencies be logarithmic or linear?

4 wonderfully creative FREE Sound Design Programs

looppool — Sun, 25 Jul 2004 11:02:28 GMT

I was surfing the web for free music resources tonight
and stumbled on these three really creative programs
all created by the same guy, Victor Khashchanskiy from
Russia.

BITMAPS and WAVES
www.webcenter.ru/~vsoft/BitmapPlayer.htm
This converts bitmap images to audio and let's you manipulate it.

ENRHYTHMIZER
www.webcenter.ru/~vsoft/Enrhythmizer.htm
The program applies rhythm patterns over source sound, so it acts like an amplitude or phase modulator. It also provides a built-in noise and sine generater for test purposes.

SOUND 2D WARPER
www.webcenter.ru/~vsoft/SndWarp.htm
The program warps images, which are known to be closely related to sounds, so wave files could be loaded and converted to images, then warped and saved as sounds.

DRAW THE SOUND
www.webcenter.ru/~vsoft/DrawTheSound.htm
This allows one to draw wave forms and then generate them.
It is more complex that simply described and has these cool
other features:
The capability to import another data sources - like *.mid, *.wav and *.bmp (by the latter I mean graphs like EEG which could be scanned and used to produce somewhat 'natural').
The capability to 'snap' the manually drawn graphs to fixed rhythm patterns.
The capability to 'harmonize' sounds by adjustment instant frequencies to musical scales.

As someone who loves to design sounds from scratch these simple but powerful tools look great!

Thank you Victor Khashchanskiy!!!!

chameleon anyone?

aaronpeacock — Wed, 10 Mar 2004 11:28:36 GMT

anyone here used the SoundArts Chameleon at all?
has anyone here developed anything for it or started to?
is it as simply designed as all that?
how about it vs like an ez-kit lite with SHARC's for a first dsp hardware dev platform? (pro audio being the application...)

Scream @ CodeCon and Con Con

catharsisegr — Fri, 13 Feb 2004 19:56:07 GMT

Greets,

I'll be presenting Scream (audio.egregious.net/scream) at CodeCon ( www.codecon.org )coming up in SF on the 22nd. I will have a 6 channel surround system and will demonstrate some of my ambisonic spatialization tech and talk about some technical points of Screams development including an overview of SuperCollider3.

I'll also be giving a lightning talk (with no audio demo) at ConCon which is a little gathering happening on the 16th.. Kind of an overflow of E-tech and pre CodeCon thing.
http://wiki.oreillynet.com/etech/view?ConCon

Also check this live show out in SF at Asphodel on the 21st:
http://www.asphodel.com/doc/live.html

My work with Scream is a control and growing multimedia framework for Java that works with OSC enabled audio engines.

Best...
