Abstract
SeeSaw presents and discusses methods for implementing a hybrid synthesizer, by employing a digital embedded platform for editing digital signal processing algorithms in realtime. The aim of the project is the development of multiple instrument patches using synthesis techniques and methods in Max/gen visual programming language. Analog circuits are developed as supplementary modulation effects for enhancing the digital audio core. Moreover, the project investigates the impact of electro-mechanical parts both from sound aspects and design interface perspective. The majority of the digital synthesizers are based on simple knob/button interfaces that lack intuition and expressive quality. In return, this research aims to address these challenges by proposing a new hybrid digital interface, designed and reinforced by analog circuits and mechanisms, that allows for syn-aesthetic human-machine interactions.
