Discrete-Time Signal Processing
by Alan V. Oppenheim, Ronald W. Schafer, John R. Buck

Hardcover - 870 pages 2nd edition (April 1999)

This is the standard text for introductory advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate level courses in signal processing. The text gives a coherent and exhaustive treatment of discrete-time linear systems, sampling, filtering and filter design, reconstruction, the discrete-time Fourier and z-transforms, Fourier analysis of signals, the fast Fourier transform, and spectral estimation. The author develops the basic theory independently for each of the transform domains and provides illustrative examples throughout to aid the reader. Discussions of applications in the areas of speech processing, consumer electronics, acoustics, radar, geophysical signal processing, and remote sensing help to place the theory in context. The text assumes a background in advanced calculus, including an introduction to complex variables and a basic familiarity with signals and linear systems theory. If you have this background, the book forms an up-to-date and self-contained introduction to discrete-time signal processing that is appropriate for students and researchers. Discrete-Time Signal Processing also includes an extensive bibliography.

DSP Primer
by C. Britton Rorabaugh

Hardcover - 560 pages Bk&Cd Rom edition (October 1998)

Digital Signal Processing is one of the most explosive fields in all of Electrical Engineering with applications in everything from telecommunications to computer hardware. Unlike most textbooks on the subject, this book will not attempt to derive DSP techniques. Instead, this book provide nearly 200 mathematical methods, processing algorithms, and design procedures in a clear, concise, step-by-step format so that the reader can quickly select and implement an appropriate technique fro the problem at hand.

Musical Signal Processing
by Curtis Roads (Editor), Stephen Travis Pope (Editor), Aldo Piccialli (Editor)

Hardcover (May 1997)

Compiled by an international array of musical and technical specialists, Musical Signal Processing opens the door to the most important topics in musical signal processing today. Beginning with basic concepts, and leading to advanced applications, it covers such essential areas as sound synthesis (including detailed studies of physical modelling and granular synthesis), control signal synthesis, sound transformation (including convolution), analysis/resynthesis (phase vocoder, wavelets, analysis by chaotic functions), object-oriented and artificial intelligence representations, musical interfaces, and the integration of signal processing techniques in concert performance.

Understanding Digital Signal Processing
by Richard G. Lyons

Hardcover (October 1996)

Begins with a complete explanation of periodic sampling followed by a lucid introduction to Fourier transform and its fast Fourier transform (FFT) implementation. Includes extensive information on both finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filters, as well as coverage of the benefits of signal averaging. In addition, the abstruse topics of the Convolution theorem and complex signals are demystified, and the practical uses of various binary number formats are carefully described and compared.

The Computer Music Tutorial
by Curtis Roads

Paperback - 1234 pages (February 1996)

The Computer Music Tutorial is a comprehensive text and reference that covers all aspects of computer music, including digital audio, synthesis techniques, signal processing, musical input devices, performance software, editing systems, algorithmic composition, MIDI, synthesizer architecture, system interconnection, and psychoacoustics. A special effort has been made to impart an appreciation for the rich history behind current activities in the field. Profusely illustrated and exhaustively referenced and cross-referenced, The Computer Music Tutorial provides a step-by-step introduction to the entire field of computer music techniques. Written for nontechnical as well as technical readers, it uses hundreds of charts, diagrams, screen images, and photographs as well as clear explanations to present basic concepts and terms. Mathematical notation and program code examples are used only when absolutely necessary. Explanations are not tied to any specific software or hardware.

Curtis Roads has served as editor-in-chief of Computer Music Journal for more than a decade and is a recognized authority in the field. The material in this book was compiled and refined over a period of several years of teaching in classes at Harvard University, Oberlin Conservatory, the University of Naples, IRCAM, Les Ateliers UPIC, and in seminars and workshops in North America, Europe, and Asia.
