Name: Musical Signal Processing with LabVIEW -- Analog Synthesis and Modular Synthesizers
ID: col10480
Language: English (en)
Summary: Analog modular synthesizers popular in the 1960s and 1970s produce sound with electronic devices such as oscillators, amplifiers, filters, and envelope generators linked together by cables. A specific cable configuration (or "patch") produces a distinct sound controlled by a keyboard or sequencer. While digital synthesis has largely replaced analog synthesizers, the concepts and techniques of analog synthesis still serve as the basis for many types of synthesis algorithms. Learn about modular synthesizers and use LabVIEW to compose a piece of music by emulating an analog synthesizer. This course is part of the series "Musical Signal Processing with LabVIEW".
