Bob, your continued love of synths gives me hope we will see you take a real leap of faith and give us a ‘Crafting Real-time Audio via custom digital Synthesizers’. I would genuinely love a beginner friendly guide to audio programming in the style you developed for Crafting Interpreters. Help me get my friends into digital instrument programming Bob, it’s not like it would take that long!



I would love to write about audio programming. I've done some and am slowly learning more, but it's a real uphill battle. I get a lot of it, but the math behind filters is really hard for me.


If you can find a copy of Computer Music by Charles Dodge and Thomas Jerse, it's a relatively low-math high-practical walkthrough of lots of stuff including filters.


I'd be surprised if there isn't some beginner-friendly guide to audio programming, albeit not in the same author's style. Anyone have a favorite?


I really enjoyed "BasicSynth": https://basicsynth.com/
