A musical synthesizer that mimics the sounds produced by a piano and a clarinet. We wanted to create a device that could produce different musical signals by direct digital synthesis. Using Fourier analysis of the signals, we were able to imitate the sounds from different musical instruments. In addition, we wanted to give our keyboard users the ability to play multiple note chords to create more interesting music patterns. Working on this project gave us a lot of insight into the nature of sound and how high-end keyboard synthesizers actually operate.
