Sound: Advanced Topics II (GR6611, Fall 2018) week 2

introductory stuff

We looked at some snazzy examples of web-audio possibilties, plus a review of synthesis and signal-processing techniques. Example Max/MSP demo patches are below.

Links

whitechord.org -- work by Ben Taylor. Also, this one had an interesting interface that employed Max/MSP and OSC (although we didn't really get it all fired up)
forestmist.org, web API demo -- fun use of loops and example of applying differet DSP techniques
platap.com -- good example of interactivity
mmorph -- by an outfit called "massive music", a really interesting interface (note: Google Chrome browsers only)
flume 'skin' interface --i snazzy way advertise a new musical release
gregorian chant generator -- and a bunch of other 'ambient' apps intended to sooth the savage beast. Pay $$$, of course.
sound display -- Shih-wei had an appointment and he was a little late arriving, and I hadn't realized that he sent in a demo web-audio app. This one is pretty cool, especially given that we talked about the DSP techniques later in the class. I'll show it again next week. (note: it seems to run on Firefox only because of the live input access necessary)

These are some of the information/documentation links I showed in class:
basic tone.js reference links -- these are the 'unit generators' we'll be exploring
good HTML resource -- if you scroll down, you will get to this part of the page, with a good listing of all HTML tags

There are a blue billion links about various synthesis and signal-processing techniques. I'll leave it up to you to google them if you'd like. If the search for particular information becomes too annoying (i.e. you can't find it), let me know and I can point you to some good sites.

Class Downloads

basic-synth-demos.zip -- the Max/MSP paches I used to show different synthesis techniques.

I don't really have a download for the DSP techniques; I showed them in Logic. You can do the same!

Here is the rudimentary html we showed in class:
```
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<body>

hey, how ya doing?

click here to see it displayed as a web page. What fun!

Much more html to come later...
