| Question: | This is not ad much a question, as some food for thought. Learning my way through Kyma, today I morphed and cross synthesized the first time a C2 of a Boesendofer Grand with a SFX of ocean lapping. Normally one would think that the result will be something like a lapping grand piano, or some piano-reminiscient water gurgle. To my greatest surprise, the result sounds exactly like the chime of the grandfather clock in my living room. Hmm.
I wonder, if we approached morphing from a different angle perhaps we could obtain morphs that contain more of the source sounds' traits. Instead of calculating a median between two sets of sine waves obtained by spectral analysis of samples A and B, what if we perceived sample A as a process itself, and calculated what sort of number we'd need to multiply or modulate a sine wave of its base pitch with to obtain sample A as a result. (sine x what? = Sample A) Then, multiply or modulate an amplitude-reduced Sample B with that same ("what?") value. Perhaps this could give us morphs that possess more of the source traits? |
