Explore Wave Terrain Synthesis (WTS) in this 48-minute conference talk that delves into this fascinating and underexplored approach to sound generation. Discover the core principles of WTS and learn how the oscillator's terrain-path interaction shapes timbre, along with the mathematical concepts behind generating clean, anti-aliased single-cycle waveforms. Understand how the path-terrain relationship can produce familiar effects like oscillator sync and phase distortion. Examine the inherently expressive nature of WTS with its large number of controllable parameters, and see demonstrations of how real-time control, LFOs, envelopes, and image-based terrain imports drive expressive and evolving sounds. Progress from basic waveform shaping techniques to creating rich, multi-layered textures through practical implementation examples. Gain insights from Steven Barile, Cofounder & CTO of Conductive Labs, who brings 25 years of experience from Intel and expertise in circuit design, embedded programming, and innovative music hardware development including NDLR, MRCC, MRCC 880, and Terrain Synth.
