convolved with a periodic input spectrum As this is independent of the period P, we will normalise it using P=1s. This gives the final result:-

The first term here indicates the linear phase shift, and the second is the amplitude response, showing how each frequency leaks into neighbouring bins in the DFT.

The BiMouse is made using two standard and ideally identical mice, as shown in Figure 155. Wt 9! Four serial ports is normally the maximum on a PC — most systems have only two ports. However, an interesting installation by Okamoto at the 1996 ICMC used specially-designed hardware to allow sixteen mice to control real-time polyphonic synthesis Oxo!
