MTC 437 Max Challenge #4:
Additive Synthesizer
Due date: Wednesday, March 3, 2010
Objective:
Create a multi-voice additive synthesizer module capable of changing voicing and envelope settings.
Specific Requirements:
1. Your synthesizer must use the poly~ object and be capable of at least 8 simultaneous notes.
2. Each note must have a harmonic content consisting of the fundamental and four additional harmonics. The ratio relationship between these additional harmonics and the fundamental must be user adjustable. The relationship between the amplitudes of the additional harmonics and the amplitude of the fundamental must be user adjustable.
3. The synthesizer must be velocity sensitive.
4. The patch must have an on/off toggle for the audio and a gain slider to control the overall
level.
5. Create at least 3 different patches for your synthesizer. Each should have a different harmonic content. You should be able to send each of these patches to the synthesizer via the preset object.
Recommended Objects/Reading:

Format:
1. Patch labeled "Assign Synth" in your folder on the hard drive.
2. Patch must be user friendly and include instructions to the user as to how the patch works (from the perspective of the user).
Grading:
Will be based on the workability and economy of the patch.
