Learning Music — Developer Edition
summary
Shows how developers can create music programmatically by generating sinusoids, combining waveforms for timbre, sampling via ADC and quantizing, then mixing and exporting audio. Demonstrations use Sonic Pi, command-line generators and code examples in Go, .NET and Java, and cover playback/export formats (PCM vs MP3/FLAC) and practical numbers like 44.1 kHz sampling, 16-bit depth, and ~176 KB/s stereo PCM (~50 MB for five minutes).
