First year at college, getting a degree in software engineering so I am currently taking my first programming class. Although I want to build my very own digital synth from scratch. Where do I start?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/synthesizers

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • webaudio-examples

    Code examples that accompany the MDN Web Docs pages relating to Web Audio.

  • I would say, head over to MDN, and look up WebAudio and WebMIDI. You can do the whole thing with no additional downloads, if you already have Chrome installed.

  • Sonic Pi

    Code. Music. Live.

  • Sonic Pi https://sonic-pi.net/ may be worth checking out. It offers fundamental coding constructs through music and sound design. At the very least it’s a free creative tool to play around with for musical ideas and performance

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • faust

    Functional programming language for signal processing and sound synthesis (by grame-cncm)
