One possible approach:
Fs = 44100; % Sampling Frequency
Ts = 1/Fs; % Sampling Interval (s)
T = 0:Ts:(Fs*Ts); % One Second
Frq = 100; % Fundamental Frequency
Len = 0.5; % Length Of Sound (s)
t = linspace(0, 2*pi*Frq, fix(Len*Fs)); % Length = 0.5s
rise = [0:Fs/5*0.1]/(Fs/5*0.1); % Rise-Fall
Env = [rise ones(1,size(t,2)-2*length(rise)) fliplr(rise)];
for k1 = 1:9
S(k1,:) = k1*sum(sin([1:k1:2*k1]'*t)).*Env;
pause(1)
sound(S(k1,:))
end
%
figure(1)
plot(T(1:length(Env)), Env)
grid
title('Envelope')
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Amplitude')
The ‘Env’ assignment is the envelope to produce the desired rise and fall. The plot call plots it, and is simply there to demonstrate its shape and is not necessary for the code.
The ‘S’ matrix stores all the sounds in one (9x22050) matrix.
I’m not exactly sure what you mean by ‘timbre’, however all these have a fundamental frequency of 100 Hz, with varying harmonics.
This will provide you with code to begin whatever project you are working on. You will have to experiment with it to get the result you want.
Have fun!
