The basics / guide of synthesizer programming / patching. By Dominic Milano. Keyboard Magazine – June 1985. Also some interviews with studio programmers (Michael Boddicker,…) – “How to make those million dollar sounds”.

“What Photosounder does is invert the notes of the tune, which creates a different sounding tune, but it also inverts the overtones, so the instruments also sound different. This effect is unique to Photosounder, which is the only program out there that treats sounds and music entirely as images.”

“The Blackbox Soundmachine is a experimentally Tangible User Interface, which contains 6 light sensors and Daka coded in Max/MSP.”

“MXP4 is an interactive music solution that enables music fans to play with songs in a variety of interactive ways. At its most basic the MXP4 format enables labels and artists to package multimedia content - streaming music, videos, artist biographical information, concert listings, share buttons for sharing across social networks, and merchandise stores – into a single .mxp4 file, which can be accessed and enjoyed as a web-based application.”

“We present a novel approach for synthesizing liquid sounds directly from visual simulations of fluid dynamics. The sound generated by liquid is mainly due to the vibration of resonating bubbles in the medium. Our approach performs automatic sound synthesis by coupling physically-based equations for bubble resonance with a real-time shallow-water fluid simulator as well as a hybrid grid-SPH simulator.”
