LEARNING OBJECTIVES
SkillS
• to learn how to generate and Control different types of Complex signals for
subtraCtive synthesis (white noise, pink noise, impulses, etC.)
• to learn how to ConstruCt algorithms using lowpass, highpass, bandpass,
bandrejeCt, shelving, and resonant filters, and also how to Control them using
various parameters, Q, and filter order
• to learn how to implement fir (non-reCursive), as well as iir (reCursive), filters
• to learn how to build a simple subtraCtive synthesizer
• to learn how to write algorithms using filters ConneCted in series and in parallel
• to learn how to build graphiC and parametriC eQualizers
CompetenCe
• to be able to realize a short sound study based on the teChniQues of subtraCtive
synthesis, and save it to an audio file.
