Description
This course explores the world of MIDI and sound-design through virtual- instruments and synthesized techniques. Through demos and creative projects, students will learn essential building blocks of synthesized sounds by using virtual-instruments in ProTools, interfacing MIDI controllers with software, creation of sound-effects through synthesized means, basic rhythmic and tonal music theory, and the creation of musical assets for games. The course sets a solid foundation for the understanding of sound- design and a historical context for the field of Game Audio, while developing a strong toolset for working within the medium.
