This is a comprehensive text and reference that covers all aspects of computer music, including digital audio, synthesis techniques, signal processing, musical input devices, performance software, editing systems, algorithmic composition, MIDI, synthesizer architecture, system interconnection, and psychoacoustics. A special effort has been made to impart an appreciation for the rich history behind current activities in the field. "The Computer Music Tutorial" provides a step-by-step introduction to the entire field of computer music techniques. Written for nontechnical as well as technical readers, it uses hundreds of charts, diagrams, screen images, and photographs as well as clear explanations to present basic concepts and terms. Mathematical notation and program code examples are used only when absolutely necessary. Explanations are not tied to any specific software or hardware.
Part 1 Fundamental concepts: Digital audio concepts with John Strawn; Music systems programming, Curtis Abbott. Part 2 Sound synthesis: Introduction to digital sound synthesis with John Strawn; sampling and additive synthesis; multiple wavetable, wave terrain, granular, and subtractive synthesis; modulation synthesis; physical modeling and formant synthesis; waveform segment, graphic, and stochastic synthesis. Part 3 Mixing and signal processing: sound mixing; basic concepts of signal processing; sound spatialization and reverberation. Part 4 Sound analysis: pitch and rhythm recognition; spectrum analysis. Part 5 The musician's interface: musical input devices; performance software; music editors; music languages; algorithmic composition systems; representations and strategies for algorithmic composition. Part 6 Internal and interconnections: internal of digital signal processors; MIDI; system interconnections. Part 7 Psychoaccoustics: Psychoaccoustics in computer music, John W. Gordon.
