Spectral and String Synthesis

Of all the types of synthesis we've learned in class, spectral might possible be my favorite. This video about spectral synth gives several examples of how spectral synth can be controlled.

Many of the types of synthesis we've learned take a lot of tweaking to find the sound that you want. While spectral isn't any different. Since it's graphical it gives the ability to fine tune your sound and really make exactly what you are looking for. Spectral synth uses colors along the y axis to configure the pitch and volume.

String synthesis is also very graphical and interested. Although String synth is like an instrument in the fact that you have to learn how to play it. While Spectral allows the user to adapt one piece at time.
