This thread is about correcting some of the wrongs in
the Wiki! (you
damned dummy!)
erm... er... huh??? Thats what I was doing, wasn't it? Oh, hang on...
I'd clicked the link, so my comments actually apply to this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_distortion_synthesis
"The scanning interval speeds up from 0 to [pi] and then slows down from
[pi] to 2 [pi]. The overall frequency is constant, according to the
pitch of the note, but the output waveform is no longer a sine".
...somebody just did the math(s).
Did not! Did perhaps? Did :)
Where is this from?
Its from this book:
http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=8218
The information can be second-sourced from this Sound-on-Sound tutorial:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1997_articles/sep97/synthschool3.html
which was written by the co-author of The Casio CZ Book. There's a bit
more detail here too but unfortunately the diagrams are not online, only
the text is.
