Synthesis

The synthesis part goes like this, for each cycle:

• Any active wave-shapes get summed up
• That signal get analysed for spectral content
  (can be none if no wave-shape layers are enabled)
• Spectral magnitude curves either add-to or multiply with the magnitude spectrum
• Spectral phase curves add to the phase spectrum
• The modified harmonic spectra get transformed back into a signal
  (the time-domain)

Note that there are two sources of sound in Cycle: wave-shape layers and spectral magnitude layers in additive mode.

General

The entire signal chain:

• Synthesis part creates signal
• Declick & Volume Envelopes is applied
• Voice is combined with the signal of other voices
• Waveshaper
• Impulse Response Modeller convolution effect
• Delay
• Reverb
