Theoretical and practical knowledge of most of the resources to facilitate the creation and programming of music through the sequencer and virtual instruments.

Objectives:

• Master the techniques of computer programming, emulation and production and learn in practice their advantages and limitations.
• We will be able to use the main score notation programmes with agility.
• Know the production processes from the initial idea to the final result and know how to prepare scores and separate and record tracks to share audio files and musical data with other production collaborators such as directors, sound engineers, orchestrators, copyists, sound designers, etc….
• Have the experience of having solved in practice a good number of computer music emulation exercises in order to be technically prepared to solve any assignment in the future.

Contents:

• The sequencer – 1
• Virtual Instruments – (Logic Instruments and NI Kontakt Player)
• Midi recording, editing and transformationTempo, key and time signature changes
• COMPOSITION: Introduction to composition for symphony orchestra.
• Orchestral programming -1 (String, Brass and Woodwind)
• Additive and substantive synthesis – Modular synthesis.
