Hi everyone,<br><br>Attached is a simple nine-oscillator additive synth experiment in PD. It has two interesting features:<br>1. The tuning is initially that of the ordinary harmonic series (2/1,3/2,4/3,5/4, etc.) However, the tuning can be changed, with interesting results.
<br>2. A line~ object is used to control the amplitude of individual oscillators, and the length of the ramp time can be set. This allows one to create constantly mutating timbres.<br><br>Now, what I'd be curious to know is how I can get amplitude values in order to do cheap simulations of various instruments (flute, cello, etc.). I know this can be done with fft's, but I don't know how to get a simple list of values between 0-1 that I can just plug into my additive synth.  I'm sure you can do that simply in PD, I just don't understand how.
<br><br>What I really wish, is that I knew how to use SPEAR to do this kind of thing.<br><br>~David<br>
