Practical case studies and sound design secrets: from humanoid singing to Klingon phasers

One of the great strengths of computer sound synthesis is its potential for the creation of an infinite variety of instruments and sounds. So far this book has introduced a number of synthesis techniques to explore this potential. Ideally, musicians should master all these techniques, but this is neither practical nor absolutely necessary for the production of good music. In practice, composers have an idea of what is generally possible and then select a few techniques on which to build their own modus operandi.
