NumPy as Synth Engine
Summary
A Python-based essay showing how NumPy can act as a synthesis engine, implementing Karplus-Strong plucked-string physics and extending to body resonances, guitar pickups, tabla percussive modeling, djembe cross-choking, and Hammond organ additive synthesis. It argues for algorithmic sound design using NumPy arrays and simple DSP blocks, emphasizing readability, tunable parameters, and open-source tooling.
