For the moment, this page exists just to provide an access point to my Master's Thesis and couple of
other documents that were produced as part of my degree. Left click the links below to view them
online, or right click + 'Save Target As' to download. Files are in pdf format, so you'll need Acrobat
Reader to open them.
Design and Implementation of a Software Sound Synthesizer (thesis, 1.9 MB)
Presentation slides in pdf and some sample sounds used in measurements can be found here.
Synthesis of Alert Sounds in mobile phones (paper, 0.2 MB) -- (presentation, 2.0 MB)
PC-based Home Multimedia Centers (paper, 0.4 MB)
A prototype application using DirectShow API and C++ is described here (html).
| Multiple synthesis methods within a single patch: |
| - subtractive, additive, sample playback, waveshaping, plucked string |
| - FM, AM, RM, sync, mix + logical audio rate modulation |
| - XOR and Bezier synthesis to explore something not-so-typical |
| Modifiers: |
| - filters, reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, waveshaper, steroid |
| Architecture: |
| - semimodular |
| - 8 particles per voice |
| - audio rate modulation matrix |
| - line + master mixers |
| - modifier blocks patchable into particles and mixer channels |
| - control rate modulation matrix |
| - 64-segment looping EGs with variable slopes |
