Week One Sound Lab - Audio Synthesis

This week we covered Audio Synthesis in Processing. The assignment was as follows:

1) make an oscillator play a pitch 2) play 5 oscillators that are pitches in the harmonic series of one note 3) play a 2 groups of 5 oscillators each that are harmonics of 2 different notes	see what happens when you set 4) make a group of 5 to N oscillators that are tuned to Stockhausen's Studie II scale - use only variables, don't just throw numbers into the code remember Stockhausen's tuning is - rootPitch*pow(5,n/25) - creating a 25 note tuning over two octaves plus a major 3rd

part b) have the computer draw a graphical representation of your chord	part c) check out the help file for delay delay(n) pauses the program for n seconds this means you can give the oscillators a set of frequencies, delay for n seconds, then change the frequencies use the draw method with delay and make something cool 5) have the computer play a major scale

Students broke off from the prescribed assignment some time during the second day of lab and attacked the element of making something cool. The results can be found here:
