The music synthesizer uses a 16-bit stereo Frequency Modulation
(FM) synthesizer. FM synthesis exploits the fact that modulating one
waveform with another waveform produces a waveform with many
more harmonics than were present in the modulator or carrier (the
modulated waveform).
The frequency of the modulator-to-carrier determines which
harmonics result. The amount of modulation determines how many of
the potential harmonics result. Using integer and non-integer ratios
allow the application to create rich harmonics and inharmonic sounds.
Surround sound, also called SRS 3D sound, is a Sound Retrieval
System
only two conventional speakers. Using pre-recorded music, the
system retrieves the spatial information and restores the original
three-dimensional sound field. The reproduced sound is much closer
to a live performance.
