Up until now we have primarily taken three approaches to synthesizing
|
|
|
|
|
repetitive waveforms: additive synthesis (Chapter 1),
|
|
|
|
|
wavetable synthesis (Chapter <A HREF="node26.html#chapter-wavetable">2</A>), and waveshaping
|
|
|
|
|
(Chapters <A HREF="node75.html#chapter-modulation">5</A> and <A HREF="node89.html#chapter-paf">6</A>). This chapter
|
|
|
|
|
introduces a fourth
|
|
|
|
|
approach, in which waveforms are built up explicitly from line segments with
|
|
|
|
|
controllable endpoints. This approach is historically at least as important
|
|
|
|
|
as the others, and was dominant during the
|
|
|
|
|
analog synthesizer period, approximately 1965-1985.
|
|
|
|
|
For lack of a better name, we'll use the term
|
|
|
|
|
<A NAME="14228"></A><I>classical waveforms</I>

|

to denote waveforms composed of line segments.

<A NAME="14235"></A><A NAME="14236"></A><A NAME="14237"></A><I>sawtooth</I>, <I>triangle</I>, and <I>rectangle</I> waves pictured in Figure
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="#fig10.01">10.1</A>, among many other possibilities. The salient features of
|
|
|
|
|
classical waveforms are either discontinuous jumps (changes in value) or
|
|
|
|
|
corners (changes in slope). In the figure, the sawtooth and rectangle waves
|
|
|
|
|
have jumps (once per cycle for the sawtooth, and twice for the rectangle), and
|
|
|
|
|
constant slope elsewhere (negative for the sawtooth wave, zero for the
|
|
|
|
|
rectangle wave). The triangle wave has no discontinuous jumps, but the slope
|
|
|
|
|
changes discontinuously twice per cycle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
To use classical waveforms effectively, it is useful to understand how the
|
|
|
|
|
shape of the waveform is reflected in its Fourier series. (To compute these we
|
|
|
|
|
need background from Chapter <A HREF="node163.html#chapter-fft">9</A>, which is why this chapter
|
|
|
|
|
appears here and not earlier.) We will also need strategies for digitally
|
|
|
|
|
synthesizing classical waveforms. These waveforms prove to be much
|
|
|
|
|
more susceptible to foldover problems than any we have treated before, so we
|
|
|
|
|
will have to pay especially close attention to its control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
In general, our strategy for predicting and controlling foldover will be to
|
|
|
|
|
consider first those sampled waveforms whose period is an integer <IMG
|
|
|
|
|
WIDTH="18" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img3.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$N$">. Then if
|
|
|
|
|
we want to obtain a waveform of a non-integral period (call it <IMG

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

ALT="$\tau$">, say) we
|
|
|
|
|
approximate <IMG

SRC="img1250.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$N/R$"> of two integers. Conceptually at least,
|
|
|
|
|
we can then synthesize the desired waveform with period <IMG
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img3.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$N$">, and then take only
|
|
|
|
|
one of each <IMG

|
|

|
|

|
ALT="$R$"> samples of output. This last, down-sampling step is where the
|
|
|
|
|
foldover is produced, and careful handling will help us control it.
