Example C01.nyquist.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig03.13">3.13</A>, part a) shows an oscillator
|
|
playing a wavetable, sweeping through frequencies from 500 to 1423. The
|
|
wavetable consists of only the 46th partial, which therefore varies from 23000
|
|
to 65458 Hertz. At a sample rate of 44100 these two frequencies
|
|
theoretically sound at 21100
|
|
and 21358 Hertz, but sweeping from one to the other folds down through
|
|
zero and back up.

Two other waveforms are provided to show the interesting effects of beating
|
|
between partials which, although they "should" have been far apart, find
|
|
themselves neighbors through foldover. For instance, at 1423 Hertz, the second
|
|
harmonic is 2846 Hertz whereas the 33rd harmonic sounds at 1423*33-44100 = 2859
|
|
Hertz--a rude dissonance.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Other less extreme examples can still produce audible foldover in less striking
|
|
forms. Usually it is still objectionable and it is worth learning to
|
|
hear it. Example C02.sawtooth-foldover.pd (not pictured here) demonstrates this for a sawtooth
|
|
(the <TT>phasor~</TT> object). For wavetables holding audio recordings,
|
|
interpolation error can create extra foldover. The effects of this can
|
|
vary widely; the sound is sometimes described as
|
|
"crunchy" or "splattering", depending on the recording, the transposition,
|
|
and the interpolation algorithm.
