Sound Synthesis with VST Instruments
VST instruments offer an unprecedented opportunity for the
exploration of sound and musical creativity. The world of
hi-tech music and audio has never been so full of
possibilities for experimentation and the creation of new
sounds. Sound synthesis instruments which were once
prohibitively expensive are now available to everyone
in the
form of cost-effective software.
Sound Synthesis with VST Instruments helps you realise your
own musical creativity by exploring the theory of sound
synthesis and linking this to practical examples in the
virtual world of VST instruments. It explains how creating
your own original synth patches can inspire a whole new
musical composition, how building your own software
synthesizer can be the beginning of a new adventure into the
world of sound synthesis, and how manipulating and
processing samples in revolutionary ways can be the birth of
the next cutting-edge dance track.
With practical projects, helpful tips, step-by-step
instructions on how to build your own software synthesizer
and virtual electric guitar, and in-depth coverage of
Reaktor, Tassman, HALion, FM7, B4, Pro-52, LM4-MkII, Attack
and many others, Sound Synthesis with VST Instruments will
be of interest to musicians, sound synthesists, sound
designers, music producers and audio professionals.
