Live-coding a music synthesizer
Live-coding a music synthesizer
After so much work and waiting, the video of my EuroPython talk is finally released!
This is a fun live-coding session using NumPy and SoundDevice. The goal of this talk is to make the computer produce realistic-sounding instrument sounds, using nothing but math.
The talk starts with creating a simple sound using a sine wave. We gradually make it sound more like a real instrument, learning a little bit about music theory on the way. We add features one-by-one until by the end of the talk, we hear our synthesizer play a piece of classical music.
