Abstract
Formant-wave-Funct ion (FOF) synthesis is a method for directly calculating the amplitude of the waveform of a signal as a function of time. Many signals can be modeled as a pair: Excitation Function-Parallel Filter. In the FOF method this pair is replaced by a unique formula describing in a more or less approximate way the output of the filter. Two tynes of advantages have motivated the first uses of the FOF technique: on the one hand, in certain cases, the FOF formula can beplified to a point where calculations are fast and easy ([1], [2], [4],[5]). On the other hand, the FOF method allows modeling of signals without the need of separating “a priori” the excitation function and the filter ([3], [53]).
