This is the perfect book for musicians who want to dive into the world of computer music and
physical computing. This book is aimed at adventurous musicians who want to learn about music
programming with Arduino sensors and Pure Data and how to make new interfaces and even new
instruments with that knowledge. You'll learn the basics of the Pure Data and Arduino languages
how to incorporate sensors into your musical projects and how to use embedded computers like
the Raspberry Pi to create stand-alone projects. Along the way you'll learn how to create a
variety of innovative musical projects including an interactive bow for stringed instruments
a MIDI clavier synthesizer an interactive drum set a patch-bay matrix synthesizer a guitar
looper and even a DIY theremin. If you are a musician or tinkerer who wants to explore the
world of electronic and electroacoustic music and musical interfaces with Arduino sensors and
Pure Data Digital Electronics for Musicians is the book for you. What You Will Learn Learn the
basics of the Pure Data and the Arduino languages Learn more about the available sensors on the
market and how you can incorporate them into your musical projects Focus on physical computing
by combining Arduino and Pure Data bringing the physical world to the world of the computers
Make use of additional libraries that extend the capabilities of the Arduino Make use of
external objects in Pure Data that help achieve certain goals depending on the project Learn
how a Pure Data patch functions and be able to modify other people's work that fits your needs
Learn how the Arduino language works enabling the modification of already existing code
according to your needs Get insight on the serial communication between the Arduino and Pure
Data Learn how to approach various programming challenges in different ways Who This is For
Musicians who want to explore the world of electronic and electroacoustic music and musical
interfaces with Arduino sensors and Pure Data.
