Signals
The design of synthetic instrumentation is a signal processing game. Mostly it is digital signal processing (DSP), but also analog signal processing (ASP) is intimately involved. Therefore, it should be no surprise that at some point I need to talk about signals: signals being synthesized and signals being analyzed by the synthetic instrument.
But before I begin to talk specifically about signals, I need to warn you that signals are only one viewpoint or stance that I can use to describe the workings of a synthetic instrument.1
When you create the design for a synthetic instrument, you have the hardware as a generic context and are given a test to accomplish. You then define the map as a fundamental step in doing that test. ...
