When 声 are 加 together they can 创作 new 质地(纹理、织体) But we can also 用 one 声波 to 控制 the 属性 of another 创作 模式 or 节奏
What is Modulation?
调制 中项 ‘to change or adjust’ The 术语 is often used in 传统 樂/乐 to 描述 a change in 樂/乐 key
But in 现实 anything can be modulated
For 例如 When I 开放式 a bottle of tomato sauce my hand modulates the lid from closed to 开放式
The 技术 过程 of 模拟 soundwave 调制 包含 two 信号
•Carrier 信号 – the 主要 信号 that is 影响 by the 过程
•Modulating 信号 – the 信号 that affects and changes the 载 信号
In the 跟随 examples we will 观察 how the modulating 信号 affects the 载 信号
振幅 调制 and 频率 Modulation
Two common examples of 调制 used in 為耳/音频 are 振幅 调制 调幅 and 频率 调制 调频
振幅 调制 调幅
In 振幅 调制 the 振幅 响度 of a 载 信号 is 影响 over 时间
The 原始/原创 载 信号 is changed from a 持续 响度 to a fluctuating 脉冲 by the modulating 信号
频率 调制 调频
In 频率 调制 the 频率 of an 原始/原创 载 信号 is 影响
In this 案例 the modulating 信号 does 不 影响 the 响度 or 振幅 of the 声波 this remains 持续 But it does change the 频率 数 of 波 每(一个) second of the 原始/原创 信号
低频震荡 低 频率 振荡器
不 anything to do with aliens I’m afraid An 低频震荡 is an 振荡器 back and forth 波 that moves very slowly at a 低 频率 LFO’s are very 经常 used to modulate other 声
They are very common in many synthesisers and used 经常 in lots of different styles of 樂/乐
低频震荡 移位/偏移 pitch
Here an 低频震荡 affects the 音高 of an 振荡器
作曲 Tip
LFO’s allow 音乐家 and composers to slowly change the 品质 of their 声 while still remaining relatively 持续 This 中项 that they can add interest to static or 持续 声
An 低频震荡 控制 the 率 of change for a 相位 Flanger or Chorus 效果
低频震荡 控制 a Filter
Here an 低频震荡 控制 the 截止 point of a 滤器
Fact
Dubstep is a style of 樂/乐 that makes significant 用 of 调制 The ‘wobble’ that is the most 识别 feature of Dubstep is caused by 低 频率 调制 of a 滤器 affecting the 主要 synthesiser 音
