Fundamentals of Synthesis by Cameron Douglas Acoustic theory Frequency- Is how a quickly a wave travels in a second. Shorter frequencies create higher pitched sounds whereas longer frequencies have the opposite effect. To create my song I used a range of different frequencies. Knowing the frequency range that different synths were important in the creation of my song. Wavelength - The distance in which a wave repeats. Different sounds in my project had different wavelength using the transposition tool I could change the pitch of a sound which would then change the wavelength. Amplitude - Is the distance between the peak and trough of a wave. The distance affects the perceived volume of the wave. The bigger the distance the louder the sound. When creating my song changing the gain of a track increased the amplitude of the wave. Harmonics - Is any overtone frequency of the fundamental which is also an integer Fundamental - Is the lowest frequency created by an ...
