Thor Magnusson: Introduction to Sound Synthesis and SuperCollider

This seminar will cover the basics of realtime sound synthesis and
introduce participants to SuperCollider. Attendees will be acquainted
with basic sound generators and processors (oscillators, noise
generators, filters, delays) as well as with synthesis techniques such
as additive and substractive synthesis and amplitude or frequency
modulation. This knowledge will then be used to build synths able to be
controlled programatically, by means of graphical user interfaces or
using OpenSoundControl.
Level: beginners
