Those who wish to create their own virtual orchestra of electronic instruments and produce original sounds will find this book invaluable. It examines a variety of synthesis techniques and illustrates how to turn a personal computer into a powerful and flexible sound synthesiser. The book also discusses a number of ongoing developments that may play an important role in the future of electronic music making.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Previously published as Computer Sound Synthesis for the Electronic Musician, this second edition features a foreword by Jean-Claude Risset and provides new information on:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e · the latest directions in digital sound representation\u003cbr\u003e · advances in physical modelling techniques\u003cbr\u003e · granular and pulsar synthesis\u003cbr\u003e · PSOLA technique\u003cbr\u003e · humanoid voice synthesis\u003cbr\u003e · artificial intelligence\u003cbr\u003e · evolutionary computing\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The accompanying CD-ROM contains examples, complementary tutorials and a number of synthesis systems for PC and Macintosh platforms, ranging from low level synthesis programming languages to graphic front-ends for instrument and sound design.
