Band-Limited Overlapping Oscillator

Band-Limited Overlapping Oscillator, abbreviated "BLOO", is a technique allowing an abstract signal generator object with a reset function to be controlled through means of a band-limited master tuning mechanism. The result is guaranteed to be harmonic with respect to the master frequency, with harmonicity depending solely on the quality of the master tuning mechanism's interpolation, effectively band-limiting oscillator hard-sync of arbitrary waveforms along with granular synthesis generalizations.


More details in the article.


Matlab source code demonstrates the results on hard-sync with a sine slave oscillator. Generic, pseudo-C++ implementation is included in the article.
