sound creation and manipulation. DSP02 delivers a simple, user-friendly 
way of mixing, editing, and sound processing in one package.  

*DSP2 as a tool for learning*
DSP02 is designed for a non-linear approach to composition, and allows 
students to develop compositions free from musical conventions and 
stylistic blueprints. The creative impulse is at the center of the 
tools, which through easy interactivity allows free, non-restricted 
exploration of what the software tools can be used for.

DSP02 is published on a website which also contains a large number of 
help- and tutorial texts, as well as musical examples and tasks that can 
be developed by using the provided samples library. This makes the 
website into a comprehensive educational tool for composition with 
electronic sound.

/DSP02 is particularly well suited for young composers from 5th to 10th 
grade.
/
DSP02 includes a large number of synthesis and sound processing tools 
for various types of sound design, traditional and non-traditional, such 
as sound editor, mixer, FM synthesis, additive synthesis, time stretch, 
4 types of filters, chorus/vibrato/flanger, ring modulation, harmonizer, 
reverb, delay, formant synthesis, guitar string synthesis, spectral 
sieve, spectrum shift, and different algorithms for machine composition.
