Chapter III – Subtractive Synthesis
Chapter IV – Controls and LFO
This is the first in a series of volumes dedicated to the theory and practice of digital synthesis, signal processing, electronic music, and sound design. All three volumes consist of chapters on theory and computer practice. <br>The three books are part of a structured teaching method incorporating a substantial amount of online supporting materials: hundreds of sound examples and interactive examples, videos, theory and practice glossaries, tests, and programs written in Max, a Max object library created specifically for these volumes, hundreds of patches and many practical activities.
Structured for use in university courses, these books are equally useful for self-learners and for those studying under the guidance of a teacher.
This first volume, which consists of more than 500 pages, will be useful to several levels of reader, but it is also possible to study it knowing only the first rudiments of music theory (notes, scales, chords, etc.) and having a basic experience in using a computer (knowing how to save a file, copy it, delete it, etc.) It is therefore ideal for those starting from scratch, but also very useful for those who want to deepen their knowledge of electronic music theory and practice with Max.
