Sound Synthesis Programming

The educational goal of the course is to provide an overview of the main sound synthesis techniques, including: additive synthesis, subtractive synthesis, sampled sounds, amplitude and frequency modulation, granular synthesis. Aspects related to sound spatialization and audio effects will be addressed, too. The implementation of the examples will be made through an ad-hoc audio programming language.

Students are expected to master the theoretical aspects inherent to the synthesis techniques presented in the course. Furthermore, they will be able to proficiently use the adopted audio programming language.
