Here’s the same thing as my original questions, but with some polite windowing - same problems persist: I’m hearing attacks (why?) and it’s pretty noisy - I guess because letting magnitudes creep up across the spectrum I’m just ultimately aiming for a big loud saw wave.<br class="">
<br class="">
So I guess I’m looking to do two things:<br class="">
<br class="">
- avoid hearing attacks in the resynthesized sound from my “accumulated magnitudes” spectrum<br class="">

&gt; I have the following idea and I’d like to hear what it sounds like:<br class="">
&gt;<br class="">
&gt; - play a sound into an FFT<br class="">
&gt; - as the FFT runs, for each bin:<br class="">

&gt; - - let the phase pass through unchanged<br class="">
&gt; - use the spectral data in the running total for the IFFT<br class="">
&gt;<br class="">
&gt; What I was hoping for was a slow emerging smear of all the frequencies from the input sound, kind of like a weird version of some kind of “infinite sustain” reverb.<br class="">

&gt; What I’m getting is the attacks of the original sound coming through, although fading in, and covered with noise.<br class="">
