Fun with Ratio Offsets

Two random things I like at the moment to get things started: Making hihats or other metallic sounds using the (mostly) additive algorithm 7. Having fine control over frequency in this way allows you to make intricate inharmonic overtones with additive synthesis. Try offsets 0.00 [C], +.036 [A], +.162 [BI], +.103 [BII], maybe some high pass filtering and play it in higher octaves, with a short decaying envelope. Keep all ratios on SYN1 at 1, Mix at center. This setup is useful for a lot of me…
