This course will focus on the development of software for the spectral processing of digital sound. We will use several libraries for spectral analysis, processing, and resynthesis (e.g., FFT libraries and vocoder programs), as well as exploring digital filter design software and other spectral effects and transformations. The emphasis will be on program development, rather than on using "canned" effects programs.
