Modern Computer Generated Musical Instruments
Jul 6th, 2010 by Jim
What early electronics did for electronic music simply doen’t compare to what the digital revolution did. Nowadays, computer generated music is incredibly sophisticated. People can write, arrange, and play whole scores without so much as touching a piano keyboard. There are fewer and fewer music composers who don’t use computers. Almost everyone in the industry uses fancy digital synthesizers, computer sound editing software, and sophisticated signal processing to get just the sound they want.
Of course, the best way to hear computer generated music has always been through a computer. Nowadays, there are literally tens of thousands of electronic musicians who are hooked up to online distribution sites of one type or another.
