Computer Music (G6611, Spring 2010) week 4

Synthesis I
wavetable, FFT resynth, FM, filtering (subtractive), physical models

Links

Here are links to several of the programs and objects I used:

SPEAR home page -- Michael Klingbeil's amazing spectral analysis/resynthesis program
the jg.* objects -- John Gibson's [jg.granulate~] and [jg.spectdelay~] objects
FFTease -- the set of FFT-manipulation objects from Eric Lyon

As before (with filters, flanging, delays, etc.) there is a vast conspiracy's-worth of information available on the web. Here are just a few sites that I think are useful:

Music and Computers -- this on-line book is linked in the past few weeks. It's really good.
Miller Puckette's book -- ditto for Miller's book here
FFTW links -- scroll down to the 'explanatory material' section; loads of good links if you want to delve into the FFT
Julius O. Smith's home page -- lots of physical-modeling papers from the master
Synthesis TookKit -- check out this code if you want to start hacking away at phys-models, from Perry Cook/Gary Scavone and Co.
Perry Cook's old home page -- speaking of Perry, interesting links here
