|

|
<I>switch-and-ramp</I>
|
||
|
|
technique also seeks to remove discontinuities resulting from discontinuous
|
||
|
|
control changes, but does so in a different way: by synthesizing an opposing
|
||
|
|
discontinuity which we add to cancel the original one out. Figure
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="#fig04.06">4.6</A> shows an example in which a synthetic percussive sound (an
|
||
|
|
enveloped sinusoid) starts a note in the middle of a previous one. The attack
|
||
|
|
of the sound derives not from the amplitude envelope but from the initial phase
|
||
|
|
of the sinusoid, as is often appropriate for percussive sounds. The lower
|
||
|
|
graph in the figure shows a compensating audio signal with an opposing
|
||
|
|
discontinuity, which can be added to the upper one to remove the discontinuity.
|
||
|
|
The advantages of this technique over muting are, first, that there need be no
|
||
|
|
delay between the decision to make an attack and the sound of the attack; and
|
||
|
|
second, that any artifacts arising from this technique are more likely to be
|
||
|
|
masked by the new sound's onset.

Figure <A HREF="#fig04.07">4.7</A> shows how the switch-and-ramp technique can be realized
|
||
|
|
in a block diagram. The box marked with ellipsis (``...") may hold any
|
||
|
|
synthesis algorithm, which we wish to interrupt discontinuously so that it
|
||
|
|
restarts from zero (as in, for example, part (a) of the previous figure). At
|
||
|
|
the same time that we trigger whatever control changes are necessary (exemplified by
|
||
|
|
the top ADSR generator), we also reset and trigger another ADSR generator
|
||
|
|
(middle right) to cancel out the discontinuity. The discontinuity is minus the
|
||
|
|
last value of the synthesis output just before it is reset to zero.

To do this we measure the level the ADSR generator must now jump to. This is
|
||
|
|
its own current level (which might not be zero) minus the discontinuity (or
|
||
|
|
equivalently, <I>plus</I> the synthesis output's last value). The two are
|
||
|
|
added (by the <TT>+~</TT> object at bottom), and then a snapshot is taken.
|
||
|
|
The cancelling envelope generator (at right) is reset discontinuously to this
|
||
|
|
new value, and then triggered to ramp back to zero. The <TT>+~</TT> object's
|
||
|
|
output (the sum of the synthesizer output and the discontinuity-cancelling
|
||
|
|
signal) is the de-clicked signal.
