Scanned Synthesis: An Introduction and Demonstration of a New Synthesis and Signal Processing Technique
Richard Boulanger, Paris Smaragdis, John ffitch · 2000
In this paper we introduce extensions and some unique features of the scanned synthesis algorithm. Scanned synthesis was introduced as a fairly simple principle, it did however contain some powerful ideas for sound generation. We will show extensions of scanned synthesis to higher dimensional shapes, using arbitrary scanning trajectories and how it relates to the idea of dynamic wavetables. We will also discuss its application to well known synthesis techniques that are traditionally based on static wavetables.
