Editing Digital Synthesis

== Digital Synthesis Workshop ==

Digital Synthesis is a form of electronic music that uses software algorithms to generate, control or modify sound. There are a number of software platforms which follow a historical timeline, which in turn originate from early analog/modular synthesis techniques.

An important distinction between digital synthesis and sound software in general is the sound creation process. Digital synthesis functions more like a contemporary analog modular rig, but modeled inside a computer, controlled by a programming language and without physical space constraints. ''this is not a workshop on plugins, softsynths for logic or ableton, or anything about multitrack recording/DAW.'' There is already a good [[Songbridge | Ableton workshop every Tuesday]] held by a group of working music producers.

I'm particularly interested in the class of digital synthesis that originated from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperCollider SuperCollider platform], released in 1996, open sourced in 2002 and currently under active development. There are many projects using the supercollider engine as the basis for [http://flockingjs.org/ new languages], [https://overtone.github.io/ platforms] and [http://sonic-pi.net/ performance environments]. Let's talk about them!

Date TBD, I've joined the [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/private/sound-hacks/ sound-hacks] list but it looks pretty quiet.
