Description
Explore the world of electronic and electroacoustic music and musical interfaces with Arduino, sensors, and Pure Data. This is the perfect book for musicians and tinkerers who want to delve into computer music and physical computing. This second edition provides a wave of updates that bring the content in sync with the latest tech trends. The book now features revamped code and visuals throughout, all tailored to match the cutting-edge versions of Pure Data, Arduino IDE, and the powerful Raspberry Pi 5. What's even more thrilling is the integration of the Bela platform for audio enthusiasts, alongside an expanded wireless toolkit that includes both Wi-Fi and the trusty XBee. To ensure a smoother journey, there are more project-enhancing images to guide readers and a brand-new chapter dedicated to the realm of AI, based on the author's innovative neuralnet object for Pure Data, as showcased in the AIMC conference proceedings. You’ll also learn the basics of the Pure Data and Arduino languages, how to incorporate sensors into your musical projects, and how to use embedded computers, like the Raspberry Pi, to create stand-alone projects. Along the way, you’ll learn how to create a variety of innovative musical projects, including an interactive glove that can be used bystringed instrumentalists or other musicians, an interactive drum set, a patch-bay matrix synthesizer, a guitar looper, a DIY theremin, and even DIY instruments that incorporate AI. Dive in today and stay ahead of the curve with Digital Electronics for Musicians, Second Edition. What You Will Learn Incorporate the latest sensors into your musical projects. Combine Arduino and Pure Data, bringing the physical world to the world of the computers. Use additional libraries to extend the capabilities of the Arduino. Work with external objects in Pure Data. Create patches from scratch. Write your own sketches with Arduino[AD1]  Gain insight on the serial communication between the Arduino and Pure Data. Who This is For  Musicians interested in electronic and electroacoustic music and musical interfaces.
