Draw Waves by Syntauri Corporation, is a
sound designer system that responds to
musicians' demands for unique and exciting
sound design tools. Used with the
alphaSyntauri digital synthesizer system,
synthesists are now free to design arbitrary
sounds which go beyond the limits of
conventional saw/ sine/ square/triangle
waves technology. Draw Waves lets musicians
create new sounds by drawing graphical
representations of complex sounds
(waveforms). A microcomputer, the Apple
II, performs the work of transforming the
picture into sounds; the video screen provides
visual feedback during the drawing
process. Sounds created are stored digitally,
and may be recalled at any later time
for playing and recording sessions with
the alphaSyntauri keyboard instrument.
Draw freehand, with lines or specify vectors
using X,Y coordinates-$29.95. Syntauri
