Introduction to Software Instrument Building

EP-352

In this course, students will expand on the practical and theoretical knowledge from EP-223 and EP-322 by building custom software instruments using Max and RNBO. The focus will be on creating unique polyphonic instruments that use subtractive, additive, FM, sampling, wavetable, and granular synthesis techniques. Students will take a modular approach in developing these instruments using software components that can be used in a variety of settings. Students will export their instruments to a variety of targets including web, audio plug-in and single board computers (SBC).
