This technique provides an efficient method for adding colored noise to sinusoidal partials, which is needed to successfully synthesize speech and the Japanese Shakuhachi flute, for example. Before describing the details of the FFT-inverse method, additive synthesis will be compared to the popular synthesis methods: frequency modulation and digital sampling %Z 28 Sept.-1 Oct. 1993 %8 1993/04/16
