K509 — Computer Music Seminar: Assignment 4

Assignment 4: RTcmix: routing audio through buses, tempo changes

This week we’ll look at a way to connect two instruments so that one processes the audio output of the other. The bus scheme used for this also lets us address multiple output channels. We’ll also discuss expressing time in terms of beats, instead of seconds, and using tempo changes.

Your assignment is to write one or more scores that do these things:

make sound on one instrument and process it with another;
use more than two output channels; and
work in terms of beats, instead of seconds, and make some tempo changes.

For information about these capabilities, see topics in the Appendix of the RTcmix Tutorial.
