■ The link function (iii) lets you put together two sounds.
It doesn't matter how you obtained the sounds in the
first place (sampled, created, or edited), you can link
them together to create a new sound. Shown here
are some examples of the power of this function.

(A sound that
gradually gets louder
then softer.)
Sounds created by additive synthesis or hand drawing
are only a single full wave in length. Unlike sampled ex
ternal sounds, they do not contain variations in volume
and tone color.
However, by linking together several different sounds
you can produce these kinds of changes.
For particularly fine control, you can make many varia
tions on a single cycle waveform created by additive
synthesis. Then link together all of the waveforms to pro
duce the kind of continuously varying wave that occurs
in nature.
• A result like a sampled external sound can be pro
duced by linking together many variations on a single
cycle waveform obtained with additive synthesis.
