Generating Sound & Organizing Time: Thinking with gen~ Book 1Generating Sound & Organizing Time is about the astonishing things you can do—and the insights you can find—when you work at the atomic sample-by-sample structure of digital audio. Whether you are a musician, sound designer, composer, or an experimentalist interested in creating music and tools to generate and modulate audio, our aim is to reveal how working at the sample level is not only easier to reason about, but also far more open to demystify and unleash the immense possibilities of digital audio signal processing. To do this we use gen~, which lets us work directly at the sample level through visual patching (or by coding if you prefer) and hear results immediately after every edit. That means you can crack open the algorithms of oscillators, filters, audio effects and so on that are inaccessibly black-boxed in most music software, and explore your own variations through experimentation and hybridization. This book is also about developing useful things to think with: design patterns, techniques and subcircuits to help you bring new musical signal processes to life. Starting from the simplest beginnings we’ll see how very many seemingly unrelated synthesis and sound processing algorithms come down to a pretty small number of common circuits and patterns reapplied in a few different ways (without needing much math or code), as we developalgorithmic rhythm generators, beat slicers, Euclidean sequencersmorphing LFOs, wave shapers, bit-crushers and gliding quantizerschaotic systems, stepped and smoothed noise and chance operationsa wide palette of filters and delay effectsa plethora of phase and frequency modulation algorithmsformant, pulsar and polyphonic granular synthesizers of various kindsbandlimited virtual analog and wavetable oscillators capable of intensive modulation…and more in the large collection of patching examples provided with the book."This book unlocks—for composers, musicians, sound designers, and experimentalists at every level—a very smart exploration and demystification of computer music techniques, and a beautifully concise, unpretentious, and accessible introduction to low-level signal processing. Graham and Gregory's book will not only give you insight into how to work with audio all the way down to its elemental sample-by-sample number streams; it will also inspire you to want to work this way all the time."- R. Luke DuBoisAssociate Professor of Integrated Design & MediaNew York University Tandon School of EngineeringThis book invites you to a fascinating journey through concepts, ideas, and ready-to-use practical gems, developed and brought to you by two people who combine deep technical knowledge with artistic mastery. It will show you how much is possible with gen~, the hidden secret weapon inside Max. Whatever you think you need to reinvent, it might simply be in here.- Robert HenkeThis book clearly and insightfully illuminates the possibilities of per-sample digital signal processing. The depths the book reaches and the arrows of thought that it shoots in all directions expand both the microscopic and macroscopic, not only for programming, make it indispensable for all Max/MSP users and those interested in better understanding DSP.- Jim O’Rourke
