The majority of commercial synthesisers use either sample or subtractive techniques. Additive is rarer, but offers significant capabilities which are hard or impossible to replicate any other way. This talk explores additive synthesis, the principals, and how to implement banks of oscillators efficiently using the CORDIC algorithm. We will go on to discuss techniques for generating additive patches from samples, and some of the unusual modulation techniques it offers.
