[sdiy] BLIT/BLEP virtual analogue synthesis

[Tom Wiltshire]

Hi All,

Has anyone on the list played with either of the above techniques?

I've been reading the papers (the two classics above amongst others) and doing some experiments, and it seems to me that getting decent results at low sample rates (like 44.1KHz) is still really difficult. For example, a 8KHz tone is going to have about 5.5 samples per period at 44.1KHz. This doesn't seem like enough to represent anything much, nyquist theory notwithstanding.

If you've some experience to share, I'd be interested to discuss this, either on or off-list.

Thanks,
Tom
