Abstract
In this paper, we present building blocks for the synthesis of
vowel sounds in the programming language SuperCollider.
We discuss the advantages of using vowel based synthesis, and
make a review where it has already been used in sonifications.
Then, we describe in detail the main class Vowel which handles
all parameters related to the formants that are typically used for
vowel synthesis. In order to simplify the handling of the Vowel
class, we introduce two auxiliary pseudo Ugens: Formants for
additive synthesis, and BPFStack for subtractive synthesis. This
introduction of the building blocks is followed by code examples
for sound synthesis, which make use of the described classes and
their specific features. We finally present sample applications,
showing how these building blocks can be used in sonification.
