ABSTRACT:
Sliding overtone generation is implemented in a computor organ of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,809,786. In such an instrument, the sampled amplitudes of a musical waveshape are computed in real time by individually calculating the amplitude contributions of the Fourier components constituting the waveshape. In accordance with the present invention, one or more of these Fourier components is evaluated at a frequency which varies with time. The resultant overtone "slides" up or down in frequency between preselected limits at a controllable rate of "slide speed". Unusual tonal effects are achieved.
