2 Chapter 7 Helmholtz showed that the vibrations found in a single musical tone consisted of a fundamental or base tone accompanied by related harmonics above the pitch of the fundamental. If a wave vibrates in a regular pattern, it is perceived as a pitched sound, such as those used in music. If the wave does not vibrate in a regular pattern, it is perceived as unpitched sound or noise. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

3 Chapter 7 Components of sound include frequency, amplitude, timbre, duration, and envelope. Fourier theory states that any periodic vibration (waveform), however complex, is comprised of, or can be created by combining, a series of simple vibrations whose frequencies are harmonically related and that change in amplitude independently over time. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

4 Chapter 7 Voltage control is a method of applying metered amounts of current to an electronic component to govern how it operates. It was a technique used to control the modules of analog synthesizers. A control voltage is discrete from the voltage used to generate an audio signal. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

5 Chapter 7 Common voltage-controlled components of the analog electronic music studio included the voltage- controlled oscillator (VCO), voltage-controlled filter (VCF), voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), envelope generator (ENV), and low-frequency oscillator (LFO). Waveforms can be generated by an electronic circuit called an oscillator, which produces periodic vibrations in the form of an electric current. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

6 Chapter 7 Common waveforms used in music synthesis include sine, sawtooth, triangle, and pulse waves. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

7 Chapter 7 White noise results when all the frequency and amplitude characteristics of a sound occur at random within the audio spectrum. White noise contains equally distributed energy at all frequencies within the audio spectrum. Electroacoustic music is broadly defined as music created using electronic and acoustic sound sources. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

8 Chapter 7 Microphones and pickups are two common electroacoustic transducers and are designed to change vibrations in the air or on a solid surface to electric current. Acoustic feedback occurs when a sound amplified via a microphone or pickup is re-amplified again and again via the same microphone or pickup. A feedback circuit enables the internal generation of signals by connecting output back to input, prior to their amplification in the listening space. Chapter 7 Principles of Analog Synthesis and Voltage Control

9 Chapter 7 Forms of analog signal processing include frequency filtering, envelope shaping, echo, reverberation, loops, delay, and signal modulation such as amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), ring modulation, and pulse width modulation (PWM). Analog sound synthesis is commonly done using additive synthesis by combining waveforms, or subtractive synthesis by using filters to eliminate frequency ranges from a given sound.
