This is an intermediate course in
audio signal processing thought for the third year undergraduate
students of the degree of Audiovisual Systems Engineering of the
Polytechnic School of the UPF. The course is a continuation of Signals
and Systems, where we focus on the analysis, transformation and
synthesis of musical sounds.
The course is offered in 10 weeks, with 20 hours of
lectures and 20 hours of labs. The evaluation of the students is
based on the lab assignments (15%) and final exam (85%).
Topics covered
- Sound synthesis of musical sounds: Basic concepts (oscillators,
wavetables, envelopes ADSR,
filters, LFO, control interfaces). Additive synthesis. Subtractive
synthesis. Granular synthesis. FM synthesis. Synthesis with physical
models.
- Analysis of musical sounds: Short-time Fourier transform (STFT).
Sinusoidal analysis. Harmonic plus residual analysis.
- Transformations of musical sounds: Filters and delays. Non-linear
processing. Spectral transformations.
