| Course description |
In this course students become acquainted with specific methods for digital simulation of sound-producing systems, using models that are based on physical laws and principles. Particular emphasis is laid on the computer simulation of musical instruments and other sound-producing systems, within the efficiency constraints and control demands of artistic, creative and commercial environments. After a series of lectures and tutorials, students apply their skills in a project by writing a plug-in to MAX/MSP. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course it is intended that a student will be able to:
(1) demonstrate knowledge and understanding of methods of digital simulation of acoustic systems;
(2)identify, simplify and apply appropriate methods for discretisation of physics-based sound models in the context of specific technological constraints and artistic/creative demands;
(3) carry out mathematical calculations and derivations associated with modelling and simulation of acoustic systems;
(4) successfully implement a discrete-time computer model of a musical instrument or other sound source. |
