Title
Optimized Polynomial Spline Basis Function Design for Quasi-Bandlimited Classical Waveform Synthesis
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.
