hello,
Sounds like a very interesting project.
It is my understanding that analog synthesizers generate the basic
waveforms with additive synthesis. I'm wondering if using [tabosc4~]
and sinesum be a step in the right direction?

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a set of abstractions that will allow users to easily sequence rhythmic-pattern style music; basically, to make it easy to create IDM/electro/minimal-techno style stuff. Anyway, there's one
major weakness to the whole project: PD oscillators don't sound good!
Also, the filters I've tried don't sound very analog at all.So, my question is:
- Does anyone have any good, "analog-sounding" oscillators already
created? I guess I only need saw, PWM square, and triangle, but
they need to sound GOOD (like Reaktor, basically). I see how to do simple
versions from the example patches, but I don't know enough DSP to get rid of
the digital sound. For a great example of the kind of sound I want,
check out: Asynth vst from antti at smartelectronix. http://antti.smartelectronix.com/
What would be the most analog sounding filter to use?
Is wavetable synthesis a reasonable option? How do I create a
custom table to use for such synthesis? For example, if I synthesize a
wave of one period in another program, how long should it be? I know this
should be easy, but my brain is broken on this question. My gut instinct
is that a wavetable would only sound good near original frequency or you
just get the typical digital artifacts from pitch-shifting a sample... is that correct? I'm guessing what I'm really talking about is ROMpler style multi-sampling, and selecting the wave closest to input frequency.
Don't know if anyone built this already.Btw, I can solve the problem for myself by loading in the VST~
external, but I want what I build to be cross-platform so that it is most
useful to interested people in the community.
