MUS 3240 - Effects Processing and Synthesis

This course will teach students the concepts necessary to apply effects processing and synthesis in generative audio projects. Students will learn the parameters and typical applications for filters and equalization, dynamics processing, delay and delay-based effects, distortion, pitch shifting, granular processes, and processes involving Fast Fourier Transforms. Students will learn the parameters and typical applications of low frequency oscillators, additive synthesis, subtractive synthesis, wave-shaping, and modulation processes.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisite: MUS 2240 with a grade of “C” or better.
