Live-Coding a Music Synthesizer

Explore the fascinating world of music synthesis in this live-coding session from EuroPython 2020. Watch as a music synthesizer is built from scratch using NumPy and SoundDevice, demonstrating how to produce realistic instrument sounds using only mathematical principles. Begin with creating a simple sine wave and progressively enhance it to mimic authentic instruments, while gaining insights into music theory along the way. Witness the step-by-step addition of features, culminating in the synthesizer's performance of a classical music piece. This 36-minute talk offers a unique blend of programming and music, perfect for those interested in the intersection of technology and audio production.
