PARAMETER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acoustics / Electroacoustics / Music
A dimension of a sound. Some acoustic parameters are continuously variable in a single dimension, as with FREQUENCY, INTENSITY, and duration, while others, such as TIMBRE or VOLUME, are multi-dimensional. The former may be placed on a scale or continuum and may be compared quantitatively. The latter may be scaled only subjectively, and must be compared on a qualitative basis. |
