Synthesis Simplified: Developing a Python Driven Synthesizer Using wxPython and PYO

Authors

Miles Rochester, The College of WoosterFollow

Abstract

Computer scientists and musicians alike can benefit from this thesis, which explores programming in SuperCollider and Python alongside foundational sound design principles and music theory. Using these topics as a foundation, we develop a polyphonic synthesizer and provide an abstracted, step-by-step guide for replicating the project. This work bridges the gap between code and creativity, offering both technical insight and artistic application.
