The amplitude modulation (AM), ring modulation (RM), frequency modulation (PM), additive synthesis and granular synthesis algorithms were used and applied into the Wave Craft [specialised graphical user interface software], Cool Edit Pro [digital audio editor software] and Csound [command prompt type software] synthesis software.

| description |
The ability to distinguish the usefulness of currently available music
synthesis software for the application of various synthesis algorithms is the main
focus of the research. The amplitude modulation (AM), ring modulation (RM),
frequency modulation (PM), additive synthesis and granular synthesis algorithms
were used and applied into the Wave Craft [specialised graphical user interface
software], Cool Edit Pro [digital audio editor software] and Csound [command prompt
type software] synthesis software. These softwares were chosen and
categorised according to the software interface. Cool Edit Pro, a commercial or
digital audio editor and not specifically a synthesis software, can however be used
for this purpose. Due to the accelerated development in music synthesis software,
there is an increasing number of new software now with no precise definition of software characteristics to determine their usefulness has been described. Thus, in
this project, a Music Software Evaluation (MSE) metrics table with exact definition
and criteria in determining the usefulness of music synthesis software was designed
and used to evaluate the usefulness of these softwares. Questionnaires were
designed based on the MSE metrics table to gauge information on the different
features available in the three music synthesis software and also from individuals
about their expectations and experience with regards to the softwares. Results from
these research findings indicate that different music synthesis software provides
users with different features. The results also showed that, from user expectations
point of view, Cool Edit Pro is the most preferred software. For experienced users,
Csound is preferred over Cool Edit Pro. Conclusions drawn from this research
finding is that different software approaches fulfill different kinds of user
expectations depending on user experience. |
