15 Wave Morphing and Wave Sequencing
In recent years, there has been a resurgence in dynamic timbral synthesis with waveform crossfading. Wolfgang Palm, Sequential Circuits, and Korg have released synths that generate long evolving sounds, percussive loops, and searing lead patches using fairly simple waveform crossfade techniques. These include:
Wave morphing: crossfading a series of waveforms, one after the other, using an LFO, EG, or other modulation source that smoothly morphs between them; there are only ever two waveforms that are being crossfaded or mixed at a given time
Wave sequencing: crossfading a series of waveforms, one after another, based on a sequencer designed in order to perform a combination of crossfading and holding ...
