Music Technology and the Project Studio: Synthesis and Sampling - Paperback

by Dan Hosken (Author)

Music Technology and the Project Studio: Synthesis and Sampling provides clear explanations of synthesis and sampling techniques and how to use them effectively and creatively. Starting with analog-style synthesis as a basic model, this textbook explores in detail how messages from a MIDI controller or sequencer are used to control elements of a synthesizer to create rich, dynamic sound. Since samplers and sample players are also common in today's software, the book explores the details of sampling and the control of sampled instruments with MIDI messages.
