DESCRIPTION:
He teaches classes in C++ Audio Programming, Signal Processing and Audio Synthesis Theory, and Mobile App Programming. An avid guitarist and studio owner, Mr. Pirkle still seeks projects that combine all his skills. In addition to ten years of teaching at the University of Miami, Mr. About the AuthorWill Pirkle is an Assistant Professor of Music Engineering Technology at the University of Miami Frost School of Music and is the author of Designing Audio Effects Plug-Ins in C++. willpirkle.

Containing some of the latest advances in theory and algorithm development, this book contains information that has never been published in textbook form, including several unique algorithms of the author’s own design. The book is broken into three parts: plug-in programming, theory and design of the central synthesizer components of oscillators, envelope generators, and filters, and the design and implementation of six complete polyphonic software synthesizer musical instruments, which can be played in real time. In addition to the software, it features bonus projects, application notes, and video tutorials. Bridging the gap from theory to programming, Designing Software Synthesizer Plug-Ins in C++ For RackAFX, VST3 and Audio Units contains complete code for designing and implementing software synthesizers for both Windows and Mac platforms. A reader forum, monitored by the author, gives you the opportunity for questions and information exchange.. The instruments implement advanced concepts including a user-programmable modulation matrix. The final chapter shows you the theory and code for a suite of delay effects to augment your synthesizers, introducing you to audio effect processing. You will learn synthesizer operation, starting with the underlying theory of each synthesizer component,
My favorite computer programming book of all time! duck cover As the title suggest, this book is about writing Software Synthesizers in C++, so this really implies that this book is not for the weak hearted only from reading the title. So far for the other review, only giving it 3 stars, it's completely useless and has absolutely nothing to do with what this book is about in the first place, and does not assess the quality of the writings in any way.This book is a god send for me, I have been waiting for this for many years! I am only half through so far (will update this review after I have worked it through) but I can already tell that this is a total quality product as it does not often ha. Great Book for Learning, Reference, or Just Straight Up Code Scott Burgess In addition to explaining the theory and practice behind each part of a synthesizer (filters, oscillators, envelope generators, etc), the author provides the math formulae, DSP theory, extensive graphs and diagrams, AND source code, if that isn't clear enough.From there, the book creates 4 kinds of software synths: virtual analog, wavetable, FM, and sample playback.This might not be an ideal book if you have never tinkered with audio code or C++. But if you know the basics, this will absolutely set you on the right path. I had so many "a-ha!" moments just skimming through it, it paid for itself in the first hour.I've found Focal Pr. "Five Stars" according to Marek. excellent!
