ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a musical instrument and method for generating musical sound. Digital circuits produce a sequence of numbers which are converted to analog electrical signals which are periodically sampled to drive a conventional speaker. The digital circuits operate in accordance with a method of forming each sample by evaluation of a closed-form expression including a first function of time, either periodic or non-periodic, transformed by a second function of time where the second function is non-linear, non-sinusoidal and differs from the first function. The frequency spectra of the resulting musical sound can be finite and the amplitudes of frequency components do not have unwanted limitations.
