Programming Sound - Project #6

 

Using Basic Digital Filters

 

 

Create a patch which uses the following to synthesize sounds:

 

1. Use a white noise source or a pulse train, which is fed to a comb filter. This comb filter will create a series of harmonics.

 

2. Take the output of the comb filter through one or more band-pass, low-pass, or high-pass filters in order to emphasize certain harmonics over others.

 

3. Create a control panel which gives you dynamic control over the key parameters of the comb filter and of the band-pass and other filter(s).

 

4. (optional) include a graphic interface for the filter allowing you to see and to fine-tune the parameters.

 

5. (optional) include a trigger which will create discrete events by varying the amplitude, and important filter characteristics over time using envelopes to control the parameters.

 

For examples, download the filter examples from class.

 

As always, email me your finished patch.
