CMSC 29500

Digital Sound Modeling

Prerequisites: Knowledge of computer programming or consent of instructor.

Catalog Description: Students taking this course study how the basic structure of sound perception affects the useful ways of representing sound in digital computations. We focus on basic synthesis techniques, rather than on signal analysis or on special applications of synthesis (e.g., music, speech). Course work is divided among intuitive mathematical studies, listening exercises, and a cooperative project using synthesis software to simulate an orchestral instrument.
