Transients are short intervals during which the signal evolves quickly in some nontrivial or relatively unpredictable way (Bello, 2005). In computer music, the short attack portion of a sound is often treated as a transient signal. — Click for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_%28acoustics%29

A sinusoid is any function of the form A sin(ω t+φ), where t is the independent variable, and A, ω, φ are fixed parameters of the sinusoid called the amplitude, (radian) frequency, and phase, respectively. Sinusoidal motion is produced by any 'pure' vibration, such as that of an ideal tuning fork or mass-spring system. — Click for https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/mdft/Sinusoids.html

A signal is typically a real-valued function of time. A discrete-time signal is typically a real-valued function of discrete time, and is therefore a time-ordered sequence of real numbers. — Click for http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/Definition_Signal.html

Additive Synthesis Analysis

In order to reproduce a given signal, we must first analyze it to determine the amplitude and frequency trajectories for each sinusoidal component. We do not need phase information ( $\phi_i$ in (10.18)) during steady-state segments, since phase is normally not perceived in steady state tones [293,211]. However, we do need phase information for analysis frames containing an attack transient, or any other abrupt change in the signal. The phase of the sinusoidal peaks controls the position of time-domain features of the waveform within the analysis frame.
