2.00 Credits
Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:MTEC-223 or MS-223 Course Chair:K. Biederwolf Required of:None Electable by:MSYN majors Offered:Spring, Summer, Fall Description Exploration of the theory and practice of digital signal processing, sound design, and music synthesis utilizing the full power of the personal computer as a virtual synthesizer. The student will employ a wide variety of approaches to sound and musical design: from classical techniques such as additive and subtractive synthesis, ring modulation, FM, waveshaping, and sampling, to the most powerful new approaches such as granular synthesis and physical modeling; and will discover ways in which the full potential of software synthesis can be applied in hard-disk-based composition and production.

2.00 Credits
Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:MS-223 or MTEC-223 Course Chair:K. Biederwolf Required of:None Electable by:MSYN majors Offered:Spring, Summer, Fall Description This course will provide the opportunity for students to gain experience working in situations which typify the demands of a commercial production environment. This will include: composing in a wide variety of idioms, to specific stylistic direction, and under common constraints that affect commercial music composition. The emulation of these styles will require drawing upon the skills of a synthesist, engineer, and producer as well as those of composer and orchestrator. This course will confront the student with the issues and problems common to the working composer, music producer, and small studio owner.

Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:MTEC-223 or MS-223 Course Chair:K. Biederwolf Required of:None Electable by:MSYN majors Offered:Summer, Fall Description An overview of the electronically produced/processed voice, with exploration of human speech/singing formants; time-stretching and granular speech techniques; human singing voice-synthesis software; and introduction to convolution of the human voice; introduction to the mechanics of human voice sound production. Formant synthesis: singing and speech synthesis based on frequency domain techniques such as vocoding, parametric EQ, and use of formant filters. In addition to classroom time, students will be supervised in weekly hands-on practice in this synthesis lab. The course requires production of a composition, soundscape, etc.
