This work is a line recording of a synthesizer system performance at the UPD studio in January 2026. The synthesizer system consists of a computer, a universal serial bus (USB) audio interface, USB devices, line selector, buffer, filter, and mixer. The computer and USB device are connected via the USB interface to form a computer synthesizer. The USB device outputs pulse-width modulation signals, which are input to the mixer via the line selector, buffer, and filter. The computer plays a waveform audio file format (WAV), which is input to the mixer via the USB audio interface. However, the 5th track does not use a WAV file. First, vocals, metal sheets, and violin performances were recorded using microphones. The signals were processed with distortion and digital delay effects, and then recorded in WAV format on a computer via a USB audio interface. Vocal performances were used for tracks 1, 2, and 6, metal sheet performances were used for track 3, and violin performances were used for track 4 in the WAV files. This study was performed using a conventional synthesizer system. However, by utilizing the loop playback function of a digital delay, WAV files can be efficiently created.
Ichiro Tsuji was born in 1966. He started working on noise/industrial music for his band named "Dissecting Table" in Tokyo in 1986. He returned to his hometown of Hiroshima in 1998, and has been pursuing musical activities ever since. His records and compact disks have been released under the independent label of the UPD organization, and under labels in Europe and the United States. In the first and middle stage of his career he controlled the synthesizer and sampler by the sequencer, but since 2012, the works have been produced by controlling PWM signals output from a USB device on a computer. Lately the work is being made by developing an original synthesizer system.
