Abstract:

In this paper, we describe LCSynth, a new sound synthe-sis language currently under development. LCSynth integrates objects and manipulation for microsounds in its language design. Such an integration of objects and manipulations for microsound into sound synthesis framework design can facilitate creative exploration in the mi-crosound synthesis techniques such as granular synthesis and waveset synthesis, which has been considered relatively difficult in the existing sound synthesis frameworks and computer music languages, which depend solely on traditional abstraction of unit-generators.
