Exploration Of Digital Synthesis, Angelo Indre
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
“An Exploration of Digital Synthesis” is a comprehensive investigation into the world of digital audio and music production. The paper explores the fundamental concepts of sound synthesis, including MIDI, virtual instruments (VSTs), and the JUCE framework. The central focus of the paper is the implementation of a custom synthesizer, which serves as a case study for the practical application of digital synthesis. The paper addresses the key question of how to create a functioning synthesizer from scratch, providing detailed insights into the programming and design process. Overall, the paper represents a significant contribution to the fields of digital audio and …

Senior Projects Spring 2022
The work of this project attempts to provide new methods of creating music with technology. The product, Fields, is a functional piece of virtual reality software, providing users an immersive and interactive set of tools used to build and design instruments in a modular manner. Each virtual tool is analogous to musical hardware such as guitar pedals, synthesizers, or samplers, and can be thought of as an effect or instrument on its own. Specific configurations of these virtual audio effects can then be played to produce music, and then even saved by the user to load up and play with …
