AUDI 311 Sound Synthesis Programming And Applications

Students will learn and experiment with sound synthesis methods and concepts, program a series of working software synthesizers, design and implement user interfaces, and create banks of original sound presets. The synthesis methods studied and practiced in the course may include additive, subtractive, and distortion/modulation (i.e. amplitude, phase, and frequency) synthesis, with additional investigation of wavetable and vector synthesis, granular synthesis, physical modeling, and analysis/ resynthesis. Musical instrument and timbral design considerations and challenges are also an integral part of the course. As distinct from AUDI 211 Audio Processes and Programming, this course will introduce students to higher level components of digital audio signal processing, including Fourier analysis and transforms, digital filters, and computational acoustic modeling.
