IGAME 3702 Sound Synthesis
Understanding and creating sounds through synthesized and electronic processes is imperative in the world of sound design, with skills applicable to sound effect production and musical instrumentation purposes within digital games, film, animation, music production, and fine arts contexts. In this course, students learn to creatively build and sculpt their own sounds through a variety of sonic techniques and tools. Numerous synthesis topics and procedures will be covered such as subtractive, FM, wavetable, additive, physical modeling, granular, and sampling, as well as signal processing with effects. Students will use these tools to create original sounds for music production and sound effect design.
