Re: [L-OT] Question about synth programming

2001-12-16 by Hendrik Jan Veenstra

Thoughts from the mind of yoonchinet, 15-12-2001:

>Now for some reason, which I don't understand, the
>programmers have included some sine waves into the set of wavetables.
>With wavetables I mean samples of one or two cycles. There are 9 sine
>waves included, starting with a basic one and the subsequent ones are
>an octave, a quint above that, a quart above that one, a perfect
>third, a dimished third, another diminished third, a second and
>another second.

... was the question, and the answer is:

>You can make nice organ sounds with these sines, especially when you
>can combine four of these on the K4.

Think of e.g. Hammond drawbar organs, whose entire idea is to allow 
you to add sine-waves of different frequencies.  Nice organ sounds 
indeed :-).

I love it when people answer their own questions :-).
