Our whirlwind tour of RTcmix is finished this week (sort of...). We covered basic filter theory and a few simple agorithmic operations with arrays and probabilities. Of course we barely scratched the surface of what is possible, both on the 'DSP/synthesis' level and the algoritmic-composition and external inteface/control level. Time to tramslate all this into XCode, though.

Do try to bring in an RTcmix script for next class. We'll work to migrate that script into XCode to run on an iPhone or iPad.

Links

• Luke's Filter Page -- Luke DuBois wrote this short tutorial about filter theory awhile ago, it's still really good.
• Miller Puckette's book -- Miller put an entire book on-line about DSP techniques! What a guy! It's really good, examples are in pd.
• Julius O. Smith's publications -- These are fairly advance DSP papers, but Julius is kind of the 'godfather' of physical modeling. Very good resource if you want to learn a lot about this stuff.
