The envelope applied on the filter helps the sound designer generating long notes or short notes by moving the parameters up and down such as decay, sustain and finally release. For instance by using a short decay with no sustain, the sound generated is commonly known as a stab. Sound designers may prefer shaping the sound with a filter instead ...
Sound synthesis, various methods of sound generation in audio electronics Wave field synthesis, a spatial audio rendering technique, characterized by creation of virtual acoustic environments; Subtractive synthesis, a method of creating a sound by removing harmonics, characterised by the application of an audio filter to an audio signal
An application of 3D sound synthesis is the sense of presence in a virtual environment, by producing more realistic environments and sensations in games, teleconferencing systems, and tele-ensemble systems. 3D sound can also be used to help those with sensory impairments, such as the visually impaired, and act as a substitute for other sensory feedback.
Sample-based synthesis is a form of audio synthesis that can be contrasted to either subtractive synthesis or additive synthesis.The principal difference with sample-based synthesis is that the seed waveforms are sampled sounds or instruments instead of fundamental waveforms such as sine and saw waves used in other types of synthesis.

Since Matthews had already synthesized speech, he agreed and wrote a series of programs known as MUSIC. MUSIC consisted of two files: an orchestra file containing data telling the computer how to synthesize sound, and a score file instructing the program what notes to play using the instruments defined in the orchestra file.
Table-lookup synthesis [12] (or Wavetable-lookup synthesis [13]) is a class of sound synthesis methods using the waveform tables by table-lookup, called "table-lookup oscillator" technique. The length of waveforms or samples may be varied by each sound synthesis method, from a single-cycle up to several minutes.
Additive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together. [1] [2]The timbre of musical instruments can be considered in the light of Fourier theory to consist of multiple harmonic or inharmonic partials or overtones.
