Resonance Frequency Concept

[Farlander]

Hey everyone,
In my explorations with musicians about pulse generators, one has informed me that he has a digital synthesizer that will create all kinds of square/sine/triangle waves, whatever, at almost any pitch/tone/frequency.  I don't completely understand the effects of pulse width, frequency, and mark/space on the tone or pitch of a signal, but I was wondering, is there any way to amplify the output of a musical synthesizer to be able to drive a MOSFET or trench fet with it?
Thanks!
Joe

Mosfets are basically on/off 'switches' and will not output the special waveforms you feed. However, a few hi-powered class-D audio amplifiers use them.

You might be able to feed the synthesizer output to a car 'Boom Box" high power amplifier. You will need to modify it to amplify the higher frequencies. For higher output voltage, you will need wide frequency range audio transformer.

the main prob with digital synthesis from a musical instrument is that frequencies are limited to the audible hearing range 20Hz to 20KHz and even  if the ranges are adjustable higher it is still just a digital signal trying to simulate an analog signal.

nature is analog, best bet is to look into old analog synth circuits as a starting point. Same for solid state amplifier circuits...

This is a concept I am thinking of experimenting with in the near future , I am a guitarist and have a pretty expensive effect processor that does all kinds of different frequency's....From sweep, to phrase , flange , square wave , tri and so on ,I hook my guitar to some plates a few weeks ago and got some very interesting results not big, got some bubbles ever time I hit a cord and got different results with different effects....I am planning on getting a 2000 - 4000 watt power amplifier in the near future and going to hook all my equipment up to a 16 plate dry cell and she what she will do...Its just something I am wanting to try a little deeper

sweet man, I'm still working on tank circuit resonance... I think the acoustic resonance of the plates is called cavitation, it enhances the dissociation.  I too have about 30 plates, 12" x 6", 304 grade stainless.  What are yours?
