The book offers a comprehensive exploration of computer music instruments, structured into three parts. The first section introduces foundational concepts in digital signal processing, balancing rigorous mathematics with practical programming examples. The second part delves into synthesis and processing techniques, covering source-filter models, feedback systems, and granular methods. Finally, the third section focuses on application development, discussing communication protocols, user interfaces, and various computer music platforms.

The first part of the book provides a thorough introduction to the C language and essential programming concepts, focusing on realtime audio programming, including synthesis and processing. The second part explores the application of object-oriented programming in modeling computer music instruments, linking instrument components with key C++ concepts. The author culminates the discussion with the development of a comprehensive object-oriented library, emphasizing practical applications in audio programming.

This rigorous book is a complete and up-to-date reference for the Csound system from the perspective of its main developers and power users. It explains the system, including the basic modes of operation and its programming language; it explores the many ways users can interact with the system, including the latest features; and it describes key applications such as instrument design, signal processing, and creative electronic music composition. The Csound system has been adopted by many educational institutions as part of their undergraduate and graduate teaching programs, and it is used by practitioners worldwide. This book is suitable for students, lecturers, composers, sound designers, programmers, and researchers in the areas of music, sound, and audio signal processing.

An encyclopedic handbook on audio programming for students and professionals, with many cross-platform open source examples and a DVD covering advanced topics
