Digital Audio¶

How sound gets captured, stored and played back, and the longer-term goal: building convincing instrument sounds and music from code.

• Vinyl, digital and live music: is vinyl really higher fidelity?
• What a digital audio file is: samples, bits, and where "bit-perfect" stops.
• Why synth guitars sound fake: what a real plucked string does, and how physical modeling catches it.
• Music as Code: writing music as patterns in a programming language.
• A pattern engine in Rust: how Fboard's Strudel-compatible music engine works inside.
