Psychology Meets Synths - Rozzbox Creator Needs Your Help

Kilian Leonhardt, creator of the Rozzbox and Oddulator, wrote in asking if I could put a non related synth post up for him. He needs help for his thesis paper. I of course agreed as I'd like to help him out, and it actually is synth related from a historical perspective as it shares some of the interests behind one the makers of our synths.

"Currently, i'm writing my diploma thesis (after a whopping 10 years of not-so-hard studying psychology). For this, I need more than 200 participants from the United States aged between 18 und 40 years, that fill out my 15 minutes online-survey that is about mate-selection.

I'm searching for participants everywhere, but the response is incredibly small, and if I don't get my participants, my diploma is in danger - and my parents, having paid my studies, will probably kill me... ;)"

C.P.E. Bach: Solfeggietto (synthesized)


YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on May 12, 2011

"From WP:

Solfeggietto (H 220, Wq. 117: 2) is a short solo keyboard piece in C minor composed by C. P. E. Bach. Played at a tempo of Allegretto (Or Presto to Pretissimo, by some), it requires well-trained, dexterous fingers and much practice to be played well and at a consistent pace. The piece is not meant to be played at a fast, rushed pace, but more an even, quick pace. It contains changing C minor arpeggios and fast 16th notes. Some pianists use Solfeggietto to warm up their fingers for a performance.

This synthesized rendition was generated from a MIDI file by our Matlab synthesizer. For this piece, we used our "amvoice" instrument. Instead of generating a unique timbre through additive synthesis, like most of our instruments do, it generates sound through amplitude-modulation (AM) synthesis, multiplying fundamental sine waves instead of adding them. This allows a harmonic-rich tone to be created in a very efficient manner, with a run-time much faster than additive synthesis instruments of a comparable tone quality."

"Here's a picture any paparazzi would be proud to show ;-)

We won't be revealing more for the moment; but yes, that's right, it has 11 pots and 8 IC's! (BTW, if we made some adjustments to the picture's colour, it was only to make Jano's hand look a bit human.)"

A huge "thank you" to audience member, Bob, for recording the performance with his iPhone. The piece is broken up into three main sections."
