Eduardo Miranda, "Computer Sound Design: Synthesis Techniques and Programming"
Focal Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0240516931 | 263 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB

This comprehensive introduction to software synthesis techniques and programming is intended for students, researchers, musicians, sound artists and enthusiasts in the field of music technology.
The art of sound synthesis is as important for the electronic musician as the art of orchestration is important for symphonic music composers. 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.
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:
the latest directions in digital sound representation
advances in physical modelling techniques
granular and pulsar synthesis
PSOLA technique
humanoid voice synthesis
artificial intelligence
evolutionary computing
