Let's check out Cricket SFX - Cricket Chirp Synthesis and the immense variety of chirp possibilities! Read the comprehensive article here:
There are mainly two kinds of chirps to explore, the first is made up of a cluster of harmonics in a narrow frequency range, and the second, more challenging type has only a few distinct harmonics. The first 'cluster' type is what most 'humming' crickets sound like, whereas the more familiar chirp of the House Cricket requires some spikey envelopes!
You will notice that the chirps can be a combination of the two styles and sound quite acceptable.
To achieve the spectrums shown in the video, we will outline these powerful synthesis techniques:
Additve Synthesis (VA / Wavetable)
Ringmodulation
Frequency Modulation (FM Synthesis)
Filter Modulation (Secondary Technique)
It is with these techniques that we can generate what are called 'sidebands', which gives the buzzy, raspy sound. Both Ringmod and FM can create wide sidebands, whereas other more direct methods of Additive Synthesis (Absynth 5, Alchemy) can create distinct harmonics curves. These 10 examples in the video show how approachable it is.
The sound produced by crickets is typically the result of stridulation, which is the rubbing of their forewings against each other. There is said to be a series of teeth underneath the upper wing that are rubbed with the plectrum of the other wing. These are amplified additionally by wing vibration. One chirp syllable is the sound of one open and close of the forewings!
We will explore this further in future videos!
