Synthesis and Computer-Based Music Production

3.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course covers the state-of-the-art in audio synthesis, and it involves current methods in computer-based music production. An investigation of available technologies includes modular synthesizers, virtual analog synthesis, physical modelling, and granular synthesis. By integrating current trends of electronic music production, students will learn about sampling technology, MIDI sequencing, and loop-based music production. The practical use of audio effects processing and spatialization will also be examined.
