MusicDSP mailing
list
http://www.musicdsp.org/
You might join the "music-dsp" mailing
list where you can ask all kinds of algorithm
questions/ideas.
Computer Music
Plugin Programming Workshop
http://www.computermusic.co.uk/tutorial/diy1/diy1.asp
The famous Computer Music magazine is building a
workshop for programming here,
which gets extended
from time to time. It might give newbies a good insight.
Some very
useful resources at Harmony Central
http://www.harmony-central.com/Effects/effects-explained.html
This is an explanation of audio algorithms, because
you need to know how they work
before you can code
them :-)
http://www.harmony-central.com/Computer/Programming/
And here you find some code snippets (delays, filters,
sine generator) that might
prove very useful.
COST DAFX
http://www.dafx.de/
COST DAFX is a yearly conference where all kinds
of audio related stuff will be
discussed, mainly
the mathematical/algorthmical background. Just download
some of
the papers you are interested in (there
are hunderts of them!), they are often very
mathematical
but offer some great ideas for new technologies.
DSP Dimension
http://www.dspdimension.com/
A great site by Stephan Sprenger (Prosoniq) with
a comprehensive and extensive
DSP introduction,
also downloadable as a PDF file. Especially the articles
about
pitch scaling are great. Easy and comprehensive
explanations for newbies!
The Modular
Book
http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nm_book.html
A (yet unfinished) online book written by James
J. Clark and Rob Hordijk called
"Advanced Programming
Techniques for Modular Synthesizers". They use
the Nord
Modular for the examples, but since the
explanations are evry clearly and a wide
range of techniques
is covered, I recommend everyone to take a look.
The DSP Guide
http://www.dspguide.com/
"The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital
Signal Processing" by Steven W. Smith
is another
great book you can download free of charge (but also
order a hardcover
edition). This book (although
there's some maths in it) is *highly* recommended!
Julius Orion
Smith III
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/index.html
Just look at the name and you'll know that he's
someone special :-) He's a professor
at the "Center
for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics" (CCRMA)
at the Stanford
University and offers some great
mathematical background information and algorithms,
mainly about "Physical Modelling" and "Bandwidth
Interpolation".
WARNING: The mathmatics he
uses are definitely not suited for novices!
HUT Acoustics
Laboratory
http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/
The website of the "LABORATORY OF ACOUSTICS
AND AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING"
of the Helsinki
University of Technology. Some informative texts can
be found here,
including Physics-Based Sound Synthesis
of the Piano
Mathematics
and Music
http://www.math.uga.edu/~djb/html/math-music.html
This page is by Dave Benson, professor at the Department
of Mathematics at the
University of Georgia, Athens.
The lecture notes for his course "Mathematics and
Music"
are available for download as PS (>70MB
unpacked!!!) or PDF (lower resolution, still
9MB). I
recommend the PDF version first and look through
all the stuff he has to offer.
Especially the scaling
topics are great!
DSP Audio
Tutorial
http://ww.analog.com/uploadedfiles/application_notes/
44311363022792059121065l_audio_tutorial.pdf
Another downloadable PDF-gem: "Using The Low-Cost,
High Performance ADSP-21065L
Digital Signal Processor
For Digital Audio Applications" is the long title
but contains
more than 100 pages of useful information!
Mostly audio code examples for the 21065L
DSP hardware (in Assembler), but the basic explanations
of common algorithms are so
good that I recommend
this book to every newbie, although you don't need to
understand everything at first sight. If the link
does not work, use the site's search
function!
DSP-Related
Groups, Jobs, Books and Links
http://www.dsprelated.com/
This site has a good DSP resources, including a
list of the common DSP discussion
groups on the
net, job opportunities and very important: recommendations
about
DSP books! Stay there for a while and look
around!
The BORES
Signal Processing DSP course
http://www.bores.com/courses/intro/
An introduction to DSP as a online course, free
of charge for everyone. Unfortunately,
the explanations
are rather short and the math formulas are not always
easily
understandable if you don't have the background,
but still worth a look!
Adaptyv Signal
Processing DSP
http://www.adaptyv.com/en/
Wow! A big site containing forums, book recommendations,
links, articles and tutorials!
A good resource if
you get more and more interested in DSP.
DES: Recent
Publications
http://www.cmsa.wmin.ac.uk/papers.html
"Department of Electronic Systems" at
the University of Westminster offers some
interesting
papers
to download about various DSP-related subjects.
Numerix -
DSP Technology
http://www.numerix-dsp.com/dsptech.html
This
site has some very very good information that is not
available elsewhere, eg
"DSP coding guidelines"
(for any language) and *good* algorithms! Definitely
worth
checking out!
OptimalCode
http://www.optimalcode.com/
A
good site which offers information about optimisation
issues, mostly for Delphi, but
partly also releveant
for C++ coders. A must read if speed is important in
your plugins!
dspGuru -
DSP Central
http://www.dspguru.com/
A
good site for general DSP stuff/software/hardware.
Especially
the FIR/IIR FAQs are a must for beginners!
Digital Signal
Processing Tutorial:
http://www.dsptutor.freeuk.com/
Cool
DSP site! Java applets and tutorials available, good
place to sniff around.
"Numerical
Recipes in C"
http://www.library.cornell.edu/nr/nr_index.cgi
"Numerical
Recipes in C" is a real standard book that
contains the most important
numerical algorithms,
introduced and explained, then formulated in more or
less easy
C code. On this site you can (legally)
download the different chapters of the book as
PDF
files.
If you want to go down a little deeper into the mathematical
side of things,
this should be a great resource.
DSP Generation
of Pink Noise
http://www.firstpr.com.au/dsp/pink-noise/
All
you ever (or never) wanted to know about the generation
of pink noise.
