A. Technical report
Your final report must be prepared according to a given

objectives of the project
• The main body of the report will be divided into different
sections, whose titles will be decided by each team. A
discussion will be included, where the team members
will comment on the general advantages and disadvan-
tages of additive versus FM synthesis, the performance
of both techniques for the specific instrument and any
