The Csound book : perspectives in software synthesis, sound design, signal procesing, and programming

Covers both the basics of Csound, and the theoretical and musical concepts necessary to use the program effectively.

The text covers: additive, subtractive, FM, AM, FOF, granular, wavetable, waveguide, vector, LA and other hybrid methods; analysis and resynthesis using ADSYN, LOP and the the Phase Vocoder; sample processing; mathematical and physical modelling; and digital signal processing, including room simulation and 3D modelling.

The book comes with two CD-ROMs that include more than 40 additional HTML chapters; hundreds of musical compositions; more than 3000 working instruments; the Csound application for Macintosh, PC and Linux; and a number of Csound audio and score-generating utilities.
