AA1 – Sem2, Week 8: Sound Generation - AM Synthesis
Not exactly what was requested for this blog, but something is better than nothing!
* The current state of Plogue - Note the module marked AM.AMCloser.bidule
... and the Bidule *
I have grouped an oscillator with two variables connected to frequency and amplitude respectively to realise AM synthesis. To the left you will see the controls for the module AM - I have included both variables and wave type. Once I got things going, I began to understand what was happening the more I played around. If I change the numbers here, it makes that noise. This control, this effect. Slowly it begins to make sense. Multi-layered and elegantly simple.
