RTcmix time! We'll also be hitting aspects of digital signal processing and synthesis (like WAVETABLE, etc.). The main thing is to get across the different constructions used in RTcmix to accomplish musical tasks. Today we focused on control tables and waveform tables.

Links

• older 'resources' page -- this is an on-line resource page for some of our older grad seminars. Some of the links are broken, but some may be useful for additional information (like some of the the "Basic Synthesis" links).
  
  
• Who Was Fourier? -- several of you were interested in learning more about the Fourier transform. This is that fun book I mentioned, it's one of the best explanations I've found of how the math works.
  
  There was also a lot of interest expressed in learning C coding. I found a few on-line links that seem good (and also thanks Huey-meei for scoping these out too). I'll stash these on our resources page also.
  
  
  • www.cprogramming.com -- pretty comprehensive. Looks like some of the best tutorials are linked here, too.
    
  • www.cprogramming.tk -- another good basic tutorial, a little less insane than "cprogramming.com"
    
  • Northhampton College C class -- by Simon Huggins. Scroll down for the individual classes, there's a bunch of stuff at the top of the page that isn't applicable to us.
    
  • Drexel University C tutorial -- Pretty much straight from the original K & R C book. Very terse.
    
  • Objective-C tutorial -- this popped up while searching for some C tutorials. Actually looks pretty good.
  
  

Class Downloads

• week4-classpatches.zip -- the max/msp patches we did in class showing the development of the RTcmix WAVETABLE harmonic-sweep thing.
  
  
  

Assignments

+ read Chapter 3 of The Missing Manual
+ create an RTcmix script

strum-buildup_Fluxations.SoftHard.maxpat.zip -- this is the patch that Josh did using the STRUM2 'plucked-string' instrument and a number of control objects. Nice work!
