What is additive synthesis? How can we program an harmonic oscillator on the Daisy Seed microcontroller
Additive synthesis and harmonic oscillator design
Additive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that shapes timbre by adding sine waves together. In this workshop we will explore the HarmonicOscillator class in DaisySP/Daisyduino and learn how to design our own waveforms and timbres.
All you need is a computer. If you have the Daisy Seed you can install the toolchain on your machine beforehand. You can also grab one of our kits if you want to make it easier for you to follow the code.
