Hey Benoit,

 

I see the word "calculate" in your post...

Well, I think the majority of people from this forum do not use mathematics (and physics) during compositional process. They just... compose music!

As for programming synthesizers - I believe there are many places on the Net where you can learn a lot regarding this subject.

Try these two links, for instance:

http://www.synthzone.com/

http://www.synthfool.com/

Salut cyberbeb!

 

Si vous voulez lire des articles excellents de la programmation de synths, vous devez visiter le lien suivant:

 

http://www.keyboardonline.com/features/soundforum/index.shtml

 

Vous trouvera là-bas un libre "soft synth" et classes sur la manière de concevoir sons. Il est dans anglais.

 

Cela est un très et intéressant façon commencer avec ceci.

 

Avoir un grand jour!

(S'il vous plaît pardonner mes mauvais français)

Beeing an M.sc. in electrical engineering (as I am) doesn't really matter when making sounds. Sure, I understand exactly everything when it comes to sampling-rates, filters, & stuff... but what you really need to have when creating the perfect sound is... experience. It's not a big advantage to know exactly how a filter works, it's much better to know them in a practical musical sense.

 

Calculating sounds?, I guess you mean rendering a sound and after that put it in a sampler/computer and render a whole song with it. Nothing to to with keyboards, I guess. so it's kind of the wrong forum to bring it up in, I'd try a search on www.google.com "render".

Hi Cyberbeb:

If you require to read some excellent articles about synth programming, you should visit the folling link:

 

http://www.keyboardonline.com/features/soundforum/index.shtml

 

You will find a free "soft synth" and some classes about how to design sounds. It is in English.

 

Have a great day !

(Sorry for my bad English)

Bonjour, Benoit!

 

Bienvenue! Je crois que vous soyez le premier français sur notre site! Formidable! Òu habitez-vous en France? Quelles types de la musique vous intéressent?

 

Je suis sûr que notre amis peuvent répondre á vos questions, mais d'abord, j'ai besoin de vous demander quelque questions pour éclaircir ça ce que vous avez demandé. Par example, voulez-vous comprendre le méchanisme de <>, i.e. comment le sampleur marche ~a l'interieur, ou est-ce que vous ameriez entendre plus simplement les étapes q'un musicien doit suivre pour mettre un nouveau son dans le sampleur. À ce moment, je ne suis pas sûr si vouz préferer faire les sons avec les sampleurs et les synthésizeurs disponibles, ou si vous voulez construire un nouveau sampleur (ou le logiciel) pour faire le <> ou pour frabriquer les sons éléctroniques.

 

À ce site-ci, il y a beaucoup de gens qui comprendre comment utilizer les sampleurs et synthésizeurs, mais il n'y a pas d'ingénieurs que créer et fabriquer les instruments éléctroniques.

 

Est-ce que j'avais compris bien vos questions? J'espère que je puisse vous aider.

 

À bientôt,

Daniel
