This is a much bigger factor
if you loop steady state parts of classical instruments it becomes very difficult to differentiate them.
- 8bitsrule 9y agoWell, sort of. Depends on how experienced the listener is (and/or is willing to become - many/most listeners CRAVE instant familiarity). But that importance depends on how different the instruments are already. The saxophone and the clarinet are quite different 'steady state'. Bell and piano are quite different. So I proposed a 'gateway concept'. Else it takes a long time to grok it all. Eventually the differences all add up to very complex waveforms (I didn't even mention register, which is important for differentiating the classical string families). Personally, I'm glad of this, since the timbre space explored by conventional instruments is a VERY VERY small part of the sonic universe.
