Abstract

A method of generating a sound sequence includes representing a variety of waveforms to be combined by a plurality of sample values, and then mixing the waveforms by combining their sample values in proportions that vary during a time interval (76 to 80). At the end of any time interval when the contribution of a particular waveform to the mix is zero, that waveform may be replaced by another waveform, and the process continued.
