Art and Technology
Additive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that creates complex sounds by combining multiple simpler waveforms, typically sine waves. Each waveform contributes a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase to the final sound, allowing for a rich texture and timbre that can closely mimic natural sounds or produce entirely new ones. This method forms the basis of many digital sound synthesis methods and is crucial for understanding how various sound characteristics interact.
