In crickets, for example, the acoustic signals are generated by stridulation of the forewings, and the harp, a triangular anterior wing structure, acts as a sound oscillator and radiates an amplified narrow frequency band of the produced sound (Prestwich, Lenihan, & Martin, 2000).
One of HP's products, an audio oscillator, brought the company its first success when Walt Disney Productions purchased eight of the devices to test sound equipment for the animated film Fantasia (1940).
An audio oscillator drove the wire.
Their big break, however, came when they received an order from Walt Disney Studios for eight audio oscillators, which were used to test sound equipment in the production of the movie "Fantasia".
So these instruments have sources of sound, like oscillators, noise sources.
Calling themselves a "sound-based oscillator duo," the members of Soviet Pop shape electrical currents into pulsating anti-hits.
LFO by LFO ("low frequency oscillator") sounded like an avant-garde collision of Kraftwerk and Detroit techno, but it was the product of two teenagers who invented a hugely influential, bass-heavy form of techno in a bedroom in Leeds.
The musician Matt Bauder helps with this, playing saxophone, drums and guitar, sometimes simultaneously and as part of the sculpture, sometimes mixing in the sounds of an oscillator and the dripping ice.
With names like "Turbolash" and the "Oscillator," they sound like Q's new collection of deadly gadgets for Britain's most famous spy.
The additional parts are: (d) an aluminum cork used to seal the tube and disperse heat, (e) a cover sheet set on the woofer in which the resonator is plugged, (f) the woofer box used to contain the sound emission, (g) the oscillator circuit used to generate a sinusoidal signal amplified by the power amplifier (h).
Schaeffer however, opposed the use of electronic oscillators as sound sources, claiming that these were not "concrete" sound sources, not "real," and hence artificial and anti-humanistic.
