Spectra/waveforms for acoustic instruments
2003-05-01 by Heath Teasdale
Does anyone out there know of a good reference source for graphics of waveforms or spectra for acoustic instruments. I'm keen to emulate the 'Tomita' thing - mixing some way out effects you can get with a decent size Doepfer with some incredibly realistic synthesized instruments (albeit he did it with a Moog 3C!). I'm good at the way out effects thing but emulating a decent Cello? I would certainly find a reference of existing instruments invaluable as something to work to (I know that times have moved and I could just use a sampler and buy some time with the London Symphony Orchestra but that takes the fun and challenge out of it ;-)). Has anyone come across something like this?
