Resumo

In this experience report, I present my method for synthesizing realistic sounding instruments. Starting from the analysis of a marimba sample to how to recreate it using additive synthesis while reducing the number of objects, memory and CPU load. This synthesized model only uses pd vanilla objects, allowing an ease of implementation with projects using libpd. The instrument detailed in this article and many more are part of my open-source library: mkmr. This repository is a compilation of vanilla made abstractions with different categories such as: oscillators, filters, effects, instruments, waveshapers, sequencers, etc.

Miguel Moreno

Miguel Moreno. Sound designer and audio programmer. For more than 7 years, he has explored the sonic capabilities of digital sound synthesis with Pure Data. He studied Music Production Engineering at TEC de Monterrey. He has given workshops and presentations at several mexican music schools such as CEDART, CCM, Centro Cultural España and TEC de Monterrey. Within his experience, he has developed and designed synthesizers and drum machines for various independent musical technology companies. Moreno's latest open-source work is an extensive library of synthesized instruments for Pure Data. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0643-0805.
