"this second WT-A demo video shows a few samples from The Waveterm A library, sample edition and resynthesis. You hear only pure waveforms, no sounds."

Gotta love waveform displays! It's cool to both hear them and see them changing over time as it cycles though the waveform table.
ReplyDeleteWow! how awesome!
ReplyDeleteOne of the waveforms looked very similar to a sine wave evolving with other sines into a saw wave using the Fourier Series, looked seriously awesome!!
Great sound too, very FM like.
:)I love the computer-synth design of the whole unit, it looks so scientifically cool. :)
wow instant Miami Vice... I am soaked.
ReplyDeleteOf all the higher-end digital systems of the 80's, the PPG system has the most interesting quirks and "mad scientist" feel/vibe - what an inimitable sound too. That said, I will (hopefully) NEVER have to lose my precious PPG instruments. Thanks to Virtual Music and Alexander Guelfenberg, they'll no doubt be functioning flawlessly well into my older years too :)
ReplyDeleteagree with you Alexander Guelfenberg is the PPG healing doctor :))
