This article explores techniques for synthesizing resonant sounds using the principle of nonlinear distortion. These methods can be grouped under the heading of “subtractive synthesis without filters,” the case for which has been made in the literature. Starting with a simple resonator model, this article looks at how the source-modifier arrangement can be reconstructed as a heterodyne structure made of a sinusoidal carrier and a complex modulator. From this, we examine how the modulator signal can be created with nonlinear distortion methods, looking at the classic case of phase-aligned formant synthesis and then our own modified frequency-modulation technique. The article concludes with some application examples of this sound-synthesis principle.

Terompong is a type of gamelan in Bali Province. This gamelan is commonly used in traditional ceremonies in Bali, especially the Dewa Yadnya and Pitra Yadnya. The terompong are striking instruments, where the bat is made of wood. The terompong is also a two-octave musical instrument composed of 10-12 small metal gong blocks. The gong blocks are arranged parallel, which makes the gong difficult to carry and has to stay somewhere if someone want to play. Of course, with this situation people find it difficult to learn the terompong because they are quite large and heavy. This problem could be solved by replace the original terompong with synthetic terompong. The synthesis referred here the synthesis of sound. In performing sound synthesis, the method used is Frequency Modulation (FM). The result of the synthesis carried out where the difference between fundamental frequency of the original tone and the synthesis tone is almost close to zero. The sound produced almost follows the original sound, but it can't follow the sound of metal being hit with a wooden club.

A high-precision acceleration measurement system based on an ultra-sensitive tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) sensor is presented in this paper. A “force–magnetic–electric” coupling structure that converts an input acceleration into a change in magnetic field around the TMR sensor is designed. In such a structure, a micro-cantilever is integrated with a magnetic field source on its tip. Under an acceleration, the mechanical displacement of the cantilever causes a change in the spatial magnetic field sensed by the TMR sensor. The TMR sensor is constructed with a Wheatstone bridge structure to achieve an enhanced sensitivity. Meanwhile, a low-noise differential circuit is developed for the proposed system to further improve the precision of the measured acceleration. The experimental results show that the micro-system achieves a measurement resolution of 19 μg/√Hz at 1 Hz, a scale factor of 191 mV/g within a range of ± 2 g, and a bias instability of 38 μg (Allan variance). The noise sources of the proposed system are thoroughly investigated, which shows that low-frequency 1/f noise is the dominant noise source. We propose to use a high-frequency modulation technique to suppress the 1/f noise effectively. Measurement results show that the 1/f noise is suppressed about 8.6-fold at 1 Hz and the proposed system resolution can be improved to 2.2 μg/√Hz theoretically with this high-frequency modulation technique.
