FM Synthesis

An effect mimicking the heterodyne whine of an old time radio tuner. It was created with Sound Forge 7's Frequency Synthesizer - generated by using 2 sine waves in parallel (a 7KHz Sine and a 1.1KHz absolute Sine) and feeding them in series with a 4KHz Sine. The amplitude of each was independently varied up and down during a 30 second period to create this whining effect.It was then further processed with a "Cheap TV" preset Chorus effect.Great to sneak in to old time radio broadcasts or problems with tuning.

I used this sound on a piece I made to accompany my reading of excerpts of Stéphane Mallarmé's poem 'Un Coup de Dés'. Here is the link: soundcloud.com/yudaecosta/mallarme
Thank you!
