This set of parameters (frequencies, their relative amplitudes, and how the relative amplitudes change over time) are encapsulated by the timbre of the sound. water splashing, leaves rustling, etc.) and for "musical sounds" (e.g.
This is true for both "non-musical" sounds (e.g. When humans hear these frequencies simultaneously, we can recognize the sound. Instead, they consist of a sum of pure sine frequencies, each one at a different amplitude. The sounds that are heard in everyday life are not characterized by a single frequency. Alternative implementations may use pre-computed wavetables or the inverse fast Fourier transform. Each partial is a sine wave of different frequency and amplitude that swells and decays over time due to modulation from an ADSR envelope or low frequency oscillator.Īdditive synthesis most directly generates sound by adding the output of multiple sine wave generators. The timbre of musical instruments can be considered in the light of Fourier theory to consist of multiple harmonic or inharmonic partials or overtones. Problems playing this file? See media help.Īdditive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together.
