Abstract:
Classical geometric waveforms used in virtual analog synthesis suffer from aliasing distortion when simple sampling is used. An efficient antialiasing technique is based on expressing the waveforms as a filtered sum of time-shifted approximately bandlimited polynomial-spline basis functions. It is shown that by optimizing the coefficients of the basis function so that the aliasing distortion is perceptually minimized, the alias-free bandwidth of classical waveforms can be expanded. With the best of the case examples given here, the generated impulse-train and sawtooth waveform are alias-free up to fundamental frequencies over 10 kHz when the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz.
