Alright, from the Mate_Stubb and Paul I've managed to get a pretty
good understanding of where I'm going. Mate was on the money with
pointing out how important the frequency of the original wave was.
(side note... CURSE MY "Digitally Controlled Analog" SYNTH with
its "zipper" effect when i sweep the filter!) I've uploaded some MP3
files (I know, I know, esp. at 128kbps the sounds get massacred) that
are the effect I'm looking for. Also, there's something interesting
going on in thses files, perhaps there's a noise source as well, or a
second filter, maybe bandpass? Any suggestions as to how this sound
was generated would be helpfull. This is one of the files that had
sparked this interest in the harmonic tracking in the first place,
although I've heard better examples of it in other places.
http://www.overand.com/motmThere are two files, one's a short snippet that gets to the point of
the harmonic emphasis jumping around, and the other one is the full
sample.
[I ∗think∗ that this file came from a sample CD called "Trance
Formation" Since (if my memory serves me right) this is copyrighted
material, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't abuse the copyright.
I'll take the files offline within 2 days or so.]
You can really hear the effect within the first few seconds of the
file. Sorry for the obvious processing on the file, but it came that
way. <grin>
I'm done apologizing for posting. If you've got a problem with me
posting too much, just let me know, k?
