Descripción del taller:
Duration : 3 days
Within the framework of the NET-SOUNDS projects, the goal of this three days workshop is to learn how to build digital audio applications, in particular web audio applications, using Faust. The participants should be familiar with computers and web development, but no pre-existing knowledge of Faust is required. The attendee will learn to program with Faust during the workshop.
About Faust
Faust (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming language specifically
designed for real-time signal processing and synthesis. Faust targets high-performance
signal processing applications and audio plug-ins for a variety of platforms and standards.
A distinctive feature of Faust is that it is not an interpreted, but a compiled language. The Faust compiler translates Faust programs into optimized C++ code for : MaxMSP, VST, LV2, Puredata, SuperCollider, Csound, etc. Faust can also compile to other programming languages, in particular Javascript, and can therefore be used to create efficient realtime audio applications that run in web browsers.
Objectives of the workshop
At the end of the workshop the participants will:
have acquire basic programming skills in Faust,
have acquire basic knowledge of signal processing,
understand how simple digital audio effects work,
be able to develop their own audio applications or plugins, in particular web audio applications.
Program of the Workshop
Day 1
Why programming is important for digital artists
Introduction to Faust and related tools
Introduction to audio synthesis
what is digital audio
simple oscillators
frequency modulation
Introduction to audio analysis
envelop detection
pitch detection
Day 2
Introduction to audio processing
delays and echos
panning
filters
flangers
reverb
distorsion
granular synthesis
spatialisation
Day 3
Building an audio applications
Organizing and structuring Faust code
Designing user interfaces (GUI, MIDI, OSC, HTTP)
Deploying Faust code on multiple targets
Using Faust for Web audio development
Equipments and softwares
We recommend one computer with headphones per participant. Additionally one computer for the teacher with a video projector and a stereophonic sound system will be needed. Internet connection on every machine is highly recommended.
Concerning softwares, many developments can be done via a Web browser using online tools like the faust online compile (http://faust.grame.fr/onlinecompiler) and the Faust playground (http://faust.grame.fr/faustplayground). Nevertheless we recommend to install FaustLive (see http://faust.grame.fr/download/) on all machines before the beginning of the workshop.
About Yann Orlarey
Yann Orlarey (1959) is a french composer and researcher.
He is currently scientific director at GRAME. His repertoire includes sound installations, realtime interactive pieces, and instrumental pieces for soloists, small groups and orchestras. Works by him have been performed in Europe, North America and Asia.
His research work focuses on real-time architectures of music systems, and programming languages for music composition and audio processing. He authored or co-authored more than 50 scientific papers and several music-oriented softwares. He is the designer of FAUST (Functional Audio Stream), a functional programming language specifically designed for real-time signal processing and synthesis. His current research interests include efficient compilation and parallelization of signal processing programs and preservation of signal processing programs using formal mathematical techniques.
