    I'm working on a video about synthesis methods and in it I talk about FM synthesis, but I didn't want to go into bessel functions because it would have made it way longer. But this is a perfect resource to point people towards, because what you're doing in the first half is exactly how you calculate the sidebands in FM synthesis. I'm also a physics enthusiast so I love seeing how these kinds of mathematics relate to areas in physics. Awesome work!
    Also, I'd recommend working on your annunciation, and if you can, put a compressor/expander on your vocal track. It helps keep the volume in a consistent range and makes it easier to listen to on different kinds of speakers, especially if there's noise around.

    The connection between drums and qm is probably just be in their differential equation. One way we were taught to visualize electrons (after that no one bothered) was to imagine a spherical membrane which is struck by something. the pattern we get is then projected onto the sphere so the high amplitude parts are more dense on the sphere. This doubles as an insight into the probabilistic nature of the equation as well.
    Also not really a major issue but a small nitpick i had was you just mentioned the zeroeth order bessel function directly. you could have first explained the different types of bessel functions (crying in second kind)
    Besides that great video. I didn't know about vibrato and the musical stuff so that way a learning experience for me. Good luck and looking forward to your videos in the future.

    I play a few instruments and do some orbital analysis for my job. Today I found out that vibrato is mathematically related to elliptical orbits. It does start to make intuitive sense for vibrato. Vibrato is basically nesting one wave inside of the other, hence the whole sin(wt + e*cos(wt)) form coming out. The connection for the musical and astrodynamic case seems that this wave nesting is happening acoustically in one, and spatially in the other. It's still surprising to me that the humble ellipse can lead to such nonlinearity.

  • @Alxyl
    @Alxyl ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    I wouldn’t say there is much of an answer to the question of is there an intuitive answer to why these fields seem to have this seemingly random connection. Though from what I’ve understood, when you try to solve a problem, no matter how complex, you always try to strip it down to its most simple form; when you do such a thing seemingly random occurrence start to feel a little too familiar. I am still new to all this math, but from what I’ve gathered, usually what is deemed basic intuition is enough to solve ( a striped down version) of most problems, let it be simple motion equations of planetary objects, to heat distribution, to phenomena in biology. The solution that are being produced may not always make the best model, approximations can only get you so far before “chaos” takes hold, but it is hella interesting. I really liked the video!

    2:57 My approach to the exercise:
    Say we have a sinusoid with argument a(t) and instantaneous angular frequency w(t). If a(0)=0 (no initial phase shift) we can approximate a(t) as:
    a(t)~sum[w(t)*delta_t]
    since the argument can be thought of as a sum of phase contributions from w(t) multiplied over little slices of time when w(t) is approximately constant. In the limit as delta_t goes to zero, this Riemann sum (with any nicely behaved, physical frequency) converges to an integral, giving us:
    a(t)=int[w(t)dt]
    which matches the equation given in the video.
    A cool corollary of this equation (which is shown implicitly in your video) is that frequency modulation and phase modulation are basically the same thing.

      Oh btw, the Bessel function expansion of vibrato you showed also appears in a somewhat niche part of laser physics called Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) laser locking. This is what LIGO uses to stabilize their lasers to detect gravitational waves. If you want to read up on it there's a paper called "An introduction to Pound-Drever-Hall laser frequency stabilization" by Eric Black that gives a good overview.

    You should musically analyse Rachmaninov's etude tableaux,
    He looped in time to ensure coherence within the piece itself as it's own defined unit. He also used a lot of this stuff to make his music through matrix transforms and he even included references to reality! He uses tempo shifts sometimes to alter perceived pitch and amplitudes.

    What you say towards the end (16:15) about electron probabilities distributions in atoms is wrong in two ways at once: first, the probability distributions you show at 16:25 have nothing to do with electrons responding to where other electrons are; you get these distributions even for atoms with only a single electron (hey, the depiction of this picture even says this is about hydrogen atoms - which only have one electron!). And second, no, the probability distributions in atoms are not the same as the vibrations of the drum - they are described by quite different functions. Bessel functions are _not_ used for quantum mechanical description of atoms. (Rather, what is used are the spherical harmonics for the angular part of the wave function and Legendre functions for the radial part.)

    Such fast 'vibratos' are physically not possible lol
    When you increase the rate of amplitude modulation (AM) from a “slow” vibrato (a few Hz) into the audible range, you’re no longer just modulating the perceived loudness but you’re actually imprinting a periodic envelope onto your carrier signal that has its own distinct spectrum. In other words, a fast amplitude vibrato essentially “smears” the energy of a pure tone (like A440) into a series of spectral sidebands.
    By pushing the amplitude modulation frequency into the audible range, you effectively “split” a pure tone into a set of sidebands. These sidebands can be arranged (depending on the modulation frequency and depth) such that they correspond to musical intervals like a tritone or even more complex chord-like structures. This is a fundamental property of time-domain multiplication (modulation) and its Fourier transform, and it’s one of the reasons why techniques like ring modulation and frequency modulation synthesis can produce such varied and surprising timbral effects.
