One particularly difficult task was the development of digital filters that could behave in the same way as those featured in analog synthesizers. Many challenges still needed to be overcome before the Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generator could also function effectively as a synth engine that allowed sounds to be designed in a creative fashion, or as part of a highly expressive instrument for live performance. That said, their main mode of use was as a sampler-that is, a device that replays recorded instrument sounds as–is-and they were not used in synthesizers to actually create sound. Yet this type of tone generator was not limited to drum sounds: it could also replay samples recorded from pianos, guitars, and other instruments with longer decay times, as well as the sustained sounds of organs and the like. Here at Yamaha, we call this type of engine the Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generator. For this reason, various different instrument manufacturers began to use sampling-based tone generation-also known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)-in drum machines and other similar products during the eighties. As such, sampling technology can be applied to easily recreate the sounds of these and other acoustic instruments. Drums, percussion, effect noises, and other similar sounds are relatively short, making them ideal for sampling furthermore, very little adjustment of pitch or timbre is required when these recordings are played back. One part of this approach involved the development of technologies that would allow digital recordings of the actual sounds of acoustic instruments-commonly referred to as "samples"-to be used as the tone generator. We will taking your feedback into consideration and see if these are updates we are add to a future version.Spurred on by development of the FM tone generator, Yamaha transitioned its synthesizers to digital technologies during the 1980s, and thanks also to advances in integrated circuits, we released products with a diverse array of new functions. Thank you for your feedback! We do appreciate providing us insight on your thoughts about the app. Idk, but it needs something.Īlmost a great app, but falls short of being useful. Perhaps being able to zoom in on the frequency spectrum to get to specific spots, or as Apple does, a low speed scrub as you move your finger further from the slider. Also it doesn’t make sounds while you’re sliding the slider. You have to settle for 18,342 and be grateful that you got that close, or maybe if you really want push the minus button 342 times to get to your goal frequency. You can also drag the slider but its nearly impossible to set it to 16,000 or 18,000 or 15,500, or anything specific. There’s a plus and minus button that moves up or down one single hz, which is practical at 60 hz, but silly at 16,237. Its almost impossible to choose a specific frequency on the high end. I love that it’s simple, but it’s a little bit too simple. Many of these features were from user requests, so please keep the feedback coming! Enabled mixing with music: you can now listen to other media apps alongside Tone Generator Added reset option which reverts controls back to their defaults Save your favorite configurations and switch between them easily Added a sleep timer which can be set from 15 min to 8 hours in 15 min intervals Tap the value label to bring up the keyboard Added ability to use keyboard input for Hz values. Redesigned layout to make better use of available space and modernize icons Expand the control bar by swiping up or tapping to reveal balance control Added balance control beneath volume on the control bar. New control bar at the bottom of the view to control playback, volume, airplay, and balance V2.0 brings a host of new features including: Updated layout and theme for modern iOS Fixed bug that was resetting Presets occasionally
