Musical sound synthesis (Python)
Channel: VLearnX
Date: 24/04/2022

This video covers the basics of additive synthesis. We start with pure tones, then try different envelopes. Finally we add several such harmonics together to form a musical sound.


Thanks to Moritz Wechtler - for discussions and insights on music theory, python and signal processing.
