Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015121194A1] The invention relates to a method for the synthetic generation of a digital audio signal by means of periodic sampling of a waveform to permit the user particularly simple and intuitive access to the changing and creative transformation of the waveform on which the sampling is based. For this purpose, according to the invention, the waveform is specified by using control points which, in addition to position parameters, can contain further attributes, of which the parameters and attributes can be changed individually over time by means of control signals or spontaneous intervention. The control point values which result in this way can be interpreted either as direct amplitude-period phase pairs, as magnitude-frequency pairs, or as phase-frequency pairs. A continuous waveform is generated by interpolation or approximation of the control points and the parameters/attributes of the latter, which assume a time-specific value depending on the current control signals and other influences, and can be used for further processing, e.g. spectral band limiting.

Ein Verfahren zur synthetischen Erzeugung eines digitalen Audiosignals durch periodische Abtastung einer Wellenform soll dem Nutzer einen besonders einfach gehaltenen und intuitiven Zugang zur Veränderung und kreativen Umgestaltung der der Abtastung zugrunde gelegten Wellenform ermöglichen. Dazu wird erfindungsgemäß die Wellenform aus einer Anzahl von zeitlich aufeinanderfolgenden, jeweils durch eine segmentspezifische Linearkombination aus einer Anzahl von Basisfunktionen definierten Wellensegmenten (32) zusammengesetzt, wobei die Linearkoeffizienten für jedes Wellensegment (32) derart gewählt werden, dass das jeweilige Wellensegment (32) an seinen Segmenträndern (34) jeweils vorgebbare, veränderbare Amplitudenrandwerte aufweist.
