Have you ever wanted to make electronic music? Or make machines that make electronic music? Then this class is for you! We’ll start with an overview of electronic music synthesis and introduce some key building blocks that make up a synthesizer: oscillators, envelope generators, amplifiers, and filters. Then, we’ll work our way down to the raw analog circuits which implement these building blocks. At the end of the course, we’ll discuss digital audio processing and how it differs from analog synthesis. Throughout the course, we’ll provide live demos using an analog modular synthesizer, interactive circuit simulations, and music production software. No experience with circuit design or music theory is required.
