using coefficients or parameters stored in a memory, e.g. Fourier coefficients

Full Title

Instruments in which the tones are synthesised from a data store, e.g. computer organs > by calculating functions or polynomial approximations to evaluate amplitudes at successive sample points of a tone waveform > using coefficients or parameters stored in a memory, e.g. Fourier coefficients
