Sound Synthesis and Composition With Nyquist
Roger B. Dannenberg, Carnegie-Mellon University, USA


Nyquist is a programming language and system that has been developed continuously since the early 90's. It is also the scriptiing language for the popular Audacity audio editor. In this workshop, I will give a brief introduction to Lisp, on which Nyquist is based, and then demonstrate how to use Nyquist for manipulating and creating audio. Participants will learn about the status of Nyquist, how to use the Nyquist IDE to develop Nyquist programs and compositions, and some common misconceptions and errors to avoid. Participants are welcome to try Nyquist in advance (nyquist.sourceforge.net) and bring questions to the workshop.
