My first thought was to simply have an interface called Device with the single method getValue().

And actually I think that's all the illustrating of benefits I'm going to attempt for now. Code time!

Basically, by thinking of a synthesizer in terms of a bunch of relatively simple "devices" strung together, you can create arbitrarily complex synthesizers without having to massively reprogram everything.

Now, we're almost ready to start looking at some Java code for this. First, though, I want to attempt to illustrate the benefit of this block diagram approach.

Alright, so the waveforms we've made block diagrams for are square and sawtooth. We can easily make one for sine by introducing a device which outputs sin(2*pi*input).

Safu: Thanks, and by all means, go ahead. Nail: I like it! The first time I listened, I kinda felt like the trumpet was out of place, but the second time not so much, so idk. Maybe I was just too used to hearing it without the trumpet. I think I'll wait until we have some album art for the...

Unfortunately, I have nothing to contribute at the moment, except this song, which has a ton of really good ones of what you're describing: jBf1Bkk8Gdk

Wow, that's really clever, how long did that take you to figure out?

By euler's definition you mean sin(x)=(e^(x*i)-e^(-x*i))/(2*i)?

More like the reason Noxid gave to Lace (which secretly I actually gave).

Interesting. I don't have time at the moment to try to discern this, but I will soon. And the sawtooth may be either upward or downward sloping; it sounds the same either way.

Eh, I think we all kinda knew the irritable male thingy was crap, so don't feel too bad xD.

Thanks! I agree with your categorization of them, though I kinda think it'd make more sense to have a separate album art for the bonus album. I have no ideas for what that album art might look like at the moment, so I'm open to suggestions/submissions. Also, I have to renew the domain before...

Pretty much yeah, except for andwhy and dt, 'cause of their moderating duties.

Sweetness!

Mostly a few people who just popped in briefly and left. RuneLancer (under a different account, for some reason), Xaser, and Shmitz. I think there were one or two others that I'm not remembering at the moment.

That's what she said. In fact she did die for it. This is gonna be hard to explain to the authorities... >_>

Not now, I only have about an hour to practice with my dad before that concert you're gonna miss.

WAT Dang, we've been having a lot of awesome unexpected returns lately (I'm guessing you'll be hearing that a lot :p).

And that's enough for now.

Here's some ARNUC for ya'

And since we love our block diagrams, we can make one to generate a square wave by introducing a new device, the comparator, which outputs -1 if its left input is less than its right, 1 if its left output is greater than its right, and 0 if they're equal.
