#SOUNDHACK SPECTRAL SAPER SERIES#

A major implementation problem is raised in digital source-filter synthesis, where the use of classic waveforms, such as sawtooth wave, as the source signal is challenging due to aliasing caused by waveform discontinuities.

Next, the design of the structures of the applicable techniques are presented in detail, and properties and design issues of these structures are discussed. In practice, the applicable techniques are limited to additive and source-filter synthesis, and, in special cases, to frequency modulation, wavetable and sampling synthesis. First, different possible synthesis techniques are reviewed and their applicability in computationally efficient music synthesis is discussed. In this thesis, the design of a music synthesizer for systems suffering from limitations in computing power and memory capacity is presented. CONTENTS Chapter 5 DIGITAL AUDIO AND SAMPLED SOUNDS Interlude C MANAGING TIME, POLYPHONY, ATTRIBUTES AND ARGUMENTS Chapter 6 DELAY LINES (echo, loops, flangers, chorus effects, phasers, pitch shifting, reverse, comb filters, allpass filters, Karplus-Strong algorithm) Chapter 7 DYNAMICS PROCESSORS (compressors, expanders, gates, limiters) Interlude D ADVANCED PRESET MANAGEMENT, BPATCHER, VARIABLE ARGUMENTS, DATA AND SCORE MANAGEMENT Chapter 8 THE ART OF ORGANIZING SOUND: MOTION PROCESSES Chapter 9 MIDI AND REAL-TIME CONTROL Interlude E MAX FOR LIVE This book will provide a reader with skill and understanding in using Max 7 for sound design and musical composition. Comprehensive online support, running parallel to the explanations in the book, includes hundreds of sample patches, analyses, interactive sound-building exercises, completion and correction of patches, theory and Max 7 glossary and reverse engineering exercises. Second Edition updated for MAX 7 – 724 pages Structured for use in university courses, the book is an overview of the theory and practice of Max 7, with a glossary of terms and suggested tests that allow students to evaluate their progress. CONTENTS Foreword to the Second Volume by Richard Boulanger Translator’s Note by Richard Dudas Chapter 5 DIGITAL AUDIO AND SAMPLED SOUNDS Interlude C MANAGING TIME, POLYPHONY, ATTRIBUTES AND ARGUMENTS Chapter 6 DELAY LINES Chapter 7 DYNAMICS PROCESSORS Interlude D ADVANCED PRESET MANAGEMENT, BPATCHER, VARIABLE ARGUMENTS, DATA AND SCORE MANAGEMENT Chapter 8 THE ART OF ORGANIZING SOUND: MOTION PROCESSES Chapter 9 MIDI AND REAL-TIME CONTROL Interlude E MAX FOR LIVE This book will provide a reader with skill and understanding in using Max/MSP for sound design and musical composition. Structured for use in university courses, the book is an overview of the theory and practice of Max/MSP, with a glossary of terms and suggested tests that allow students to evaluate their progress. It is part of a teaching method incorporating a substantial amount of online supporting materials: hundreds of sound examples and interactive examples, programs written in Max, as well as a library of Max objects created especially for this book.
