Here are the methods of electric synthesis I've heard of:

additive/subtractive
FM
sampling
granular
LPC

("vector synthesis" doesn't seem to be a form of synthesis, just a neeto
way of fading sounds.)

I understand the principles behind each of these, except for granular &
LPC. I'd like someone to explain the processing involved, and point out
any methods I missed.

thank you--
