We seem to talk a lot about oddball programming languages and their f eatures. And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group.&# 13\;\n \;\nThis month's talk is by Richard Fobes: \;\n \;\n&quo t\;Faster than an FFT\, the audio-oriented QRST (spectral transform)&quo t\; \;\n \;\nBased on the interest Phil and Ed expressed in my spe ctral transform\, \;\nI've spent lots of time during the past two mon ths further developing \;\nthe software. Besides getting it to work better -- it still needs \;\nrefinement -- I've ended up creating an audio-compression method I \;\ncall QRST. I'll be playing sound file s to demonstrate what the \;\nspectral transform\, the audio-compress ion format\, and decompression \;\nback into sound files can do\, so this will be much more interesting \;\nthan the words "\;spectral transform"\; suggest. \;\n \;\nBTW\, being faster than the FF T is just one of the side effects of \;\nhaving designed it for use w ith sound files. Fourier transforms are \;\nsooo ssllooww.\n\nTags: awesomeness\, beer\, programming\, westside\, spectraltransforms\, fft\, audio\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250459658 SUMMARY:Westside Programmers LOCATION:OTBC (Oregon Technology Business Center): 8305 Southwest Creeksi de Place\, Beaverton Oregon 97008 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110225T195650Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110529T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110529T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110225T195650Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110511T065625Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250459849 DESCRIPTION:__s_o_u_n_d_____s_y_n_t_h_e_s_i_s__f e a t u r i n g __ P d.. .....dorkbotpdx is proud to announce....... \;\n \;\nA unique\, fr ee workshop geared at teaching sound synthesis fundamentals as explored and demonstrated through Pure Data. \;\n \;\nFascinated by orgies of towering analog synthesizes from the 60s?

Well-designed sounds can be exceptionally effective in conveying subtle distinctions\, emotion\, urgency\, and information without adding visual clutter. In this practi cal guide\, Amber Case and Aaron Day explain why sound design is critica l to the success of products\, environments\, and experiences. \;\n&# 13\;\nJust as visual designers have a set of benchmarks and a design lan guage to guide their work\, this book provides a toolkit for the auditor y experience\, improving collaboration for a wide variety of stakeholder s\, from product developers to composers\, user experience designers to architects. You’ll learn a complete process for designing\, prototyping\ , and testing sound. \;\n \;\nIn two parts\, this guide includes:& #13\;\n \;\n・Past\, present\, and upcoming advances in sound design&# 13\;\n・Principles for designing quieter products \;\n・Guidelines for intelligently adding and removing sound in interactions \;\n・When to use voice interfaces\, how to consider personalities\, and how to ・build a knowledge map of queries \;\n・Working with brands to create unique and effective audio logos that will ・speak to your customers \;\n・Ad ding information using sonification and generative audio \;\n \;\n About the authors: \;\n \;\nAmber Case studies the interaction bet ween humans and computers and how our relationship with information is c hanging the way cultures think\, act\, and understand their worlds. Case has spoken\, performed and written about the future of sound design at conferences and events around the world. Case is also the author of Calm Technology (O'Reilly\, 2015). She lives in Portland\, Oregon and online @caseorganic. \;\n \;\nAaron Day (who will not be in attendance) has been designing sound experiences and interfaces since 1998. He has w orked for clients including Bruel &\; Kjaer\, Fiat\, Ferrari\, Masera ti\, Wire\, Mozilla\, Qoros\, Telefònica\, Bosch\, Vodafone\, Sprint\, S iemens Audi and Samsung.

We will also glimpse at integrating some modules from automaton ism in PD\, which should feel familiar for synth lovers. I recommend ins talling and playing around with automatonism in PD (or another flavor of PD such as purrdata ) if you get the chance beforehand! \;\n \;\n A Raspberry Pi or Linux laptop will be sufficient for this class\, but y ou will probably want to use a usb sound card or an audio hat unless you don't mind lots of cracks and pops!
