Noise generator device #12

Open hornc opened 5 months ago

hornc commented 5 months ago

I want to use a noise generator to shape, filter, and mix with other synth sounds... how would that be accomplished in MUSYS?

There is no noise generator listed currently in https://github.com/hornc/musysim/blob/2d84dc2a20e10ee52d2bd9e43e059d448fded496/devices.py ... I feel like I had a spreadsheet with as much device information as I could find and fill in from hints. Locate this.

From Grogono, 1973, p.370:

Hardware: "... three categories: signal sources, signal treatments and control devices." ...

The coloured noise generator produces noise with a Gaussian energy distribution, and the computer can control the mean frequency and bandwidth of the noise spectrum. The percussion simulator uses one machine order to play a ' note' on any of ten electronic percussion instruments.
