Man, is there anything Fourier Transforms can't do? For a music project in college, I created a book of Hammond Organ presets by taking slices of samples from actual instruments and running FTs on them, then finding the best approximation in Hammond drawbar notation. The fact that it worked so well was such a satisfying experience that I managed to make 100+ combinations.
- a_lieb 8y agoThat is exceedingly cool. Is there anything available about this online? Sound clips, source code, etc.?
- sneakernets 8y agoMost were typed up, but the source files were on a floppy disk somewhere in my closet. I can scan them in/upload them when I get a chance.
- prani10 8y agofloppy disks what are those Kappa
- etaioinshrdlu 8y agoWow so you made an organ sound like a bunch of other instruments? You can't just post this and not share the sounds...
- nitrogen 8y agoI sort of did the reverse for a song once, I used FFT to analyze a recording of a drawbar organ I wanted to mimic, then turned that into a ZynAddSubFX additive synthesis preset.
- sneakernets 8y agoThis is where I started, actually! I wondered how far back I could go though, and the Hammond B3 worked extremely well.
