Bell Synthesis

 

The last part involved synthesizing a bell by adding frequencies together.  I used instrument parameters from Fig. 4.28 in the class handout.  I used the duration as a time constant to the decaying amplitude exponential.  It does sound like a bell to me, but I’m not sure if it’s as good as using the FM synthesis technique.  The spectrogram is below (unfortunately most of the information is in the first harmonic).  Here is the matlab code and the audio.
