As you move example-by-example through this easy-to-follow book, you'll create meaningful and rewarding digital compositions and \"instruments\" that make sound and music in direct response to program logic, scores, gestures, and other systems connected via MIDI or the network. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA digital musician must manipulate sound precisely. ChucK is an audio-centric programming language that provides precise control over time, audio computation, and user interface elements like track pads and joysticks. Because it uses the vocabulary of sound, ChucK is easy to learn even for artists with little or no exposure to computer programming. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eProgramming for Musicians and Digital Artists\u003c\/i\u003e offers a complete introduction to music programming.

Example-by-example, you'll create meaningful digital compositions and \"instruments\" that respond to program logic, scores, gestures, and other systems connected via MIDI or the network. You'll also experience how ChucK enables the on-the-fly musical improvisation practiced by communities of \"live music coders\" around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten for readers familiar with the vocabulary of sound and music.
