- wavefolder
A wavefolder is like sonic spice—it takes a simple waveform, like a sine or triangle wave, and transforms it into a rich, peppery, complex waveform full of...
- Waveform
The shape of a periodic signal, visualized as a graph of amplitude over time. Waveforms represent how a signal behaves and are fundamental to sound and...
- Wavelength
The physical distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in the same phase, such as two peaks or two troughs. Wavelength is inversely...
- West coast synthesis
"West Coast synthesis," often attributed to Don Buchla, takes an additive approach to sound design by enriching waveforms with few harmonics, like sine or...
- White noise
White noise: Contains equal energy at all frequencies within the audible range, resulting in a "hissing" sound similar to the sound of air or static.
- White noise
White noise is random noise with equal energy at all frequencies. It has a flat power spectral density (0 dB/oct). In synthesis, white noise is used to...
