[@makipri]

I'm impressed that they managed to print quite high quality speech samples! The last time I saw their projects the sounds were mostly lo-fi pulse sweeps. The large printing area must have improved the highest possible sampling frequency significantly.

[@youngshmurda4233]

I was wondering if you could break down how this worked to me

[@jessefrench9322]

I'm not the OP, but look up Nyquist theorem. Basically the way digital audio works is that it's rapidly chopping contiguous analog sound into chunks, and taking a measurement of each chunk. The faster you do that, the more accurate it is. This matters especially for higher frequency (pitch) sounds, which by nature need a faster sampling rate to capture accurately. There's a related concept of bit depth, which also impacts audio fidelity, but I have to look that up before I can explain it.

[@makipri]

@@jessefrench9322 Yes, I’m aware of different d/a algorithms and filtered pwm could do it. I’m just surprised that the printing resolution (and scanning) was enough. I’ve done several sample playback routines with different kinds of hardware.
