MUMT 307: Final Projects

Example projects for this course could involve:

modular Max/MSP, Chuck or Pd patches for sound synthesis
implementation of sound synthesis or digital effects (ex., reverberation) algorithms using Max/MSP, STK, Chuck, Matlab or an audio plugin environment
implementation of effects or synthesis algorithms on a microcontroller or in a browser using the Unity or Web Audio APIs
a STFT-based audio processing scheme

Project presentations and reports should include:

a quick summary of your objectives
the project design
particular issues that proved challenging / rewarding
example usage / demo

As well, all code or patches developed for the project should be linked to the report for download. If your project involves hardware or software not used in the course, you should provide a short video demonstration. Grading will be based on:

presentation (organization, clarity): 5%
web write-up (well documented / organized, grammatically correct): 5%
research and/or development (quality of results, scope, diligence, effort): 10%
