Hard Sync Without Aliasing
Eli Brandt · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2001
Hard sync", a form of oscillator synchronization, is a technique which synthesizes a characteristic rich family of sounds.We describe how to perform it by integrating a bandlimited impulse pattern, avoiding the unpleasant aliasing heard in a naive digital rendering.The synthesis is refined by using a minimum-phase bandlimited step function, which eliminates lookahead and integration.This idea also gives simple bandlimited syntheses of other discontinuous waveforms.
