Linear
Arithmetic
Synthesis
was invented by
Roland
in the late
80s
. Several
L/A
synthesizers
were released, starting with the
D-50
in
1987
and ending to the
D-70
in
1990
.
From the
D-110
owner's
manual
:
"LA synthesis involves a great many
technological
advances
resulting not only in a
superior
sound
quality but also an improved
ease
of
programming
."
The
concept
?
It is based on the
observation
that the
attack
transient
of a
sound
is its most important part with respect to
human
perception
. Therefore the L/A
synths
used a
combination
of
sampled
attack transients and simple
digital oscillators
with only
sawtooth
and
pulse
waveforms
to generate the
sustained
part of the sound.
The fact that those two parts were
cross modulated
was used to
motivate
the term "Linear Arithmetic".
Basically, this was just a
buzzword
to make the
Roland
synths look more
appealing
than the
competitors'
products
.
