Let's Develop a Common Language for Synth Programming

The time has come to establish synthesizer standards that go beyond MIDI

David Wessel

These pages have seen considerable discussion of the
programming (and non-programming) of synthesizers. The sad truth
is, many musicians never go beyond the factory presets. But there
are many synth programmers who strive for new sounds with more
expressive control.

Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT)

Abstract

A new tool for real-time visualization of acoustic sound
fields has been developed for a new sound spatialization theatre.
The theatre is described and several applications of the acoustic
and volumetric modeling software are presented.
