Computers are like mechanical brains.
People program computers, or use pre-programmed software, to tell computers what to do.
Computers use binary code, also commonly referred to as "ones" and "zeros". The "ones" and "zeros" are how the code is written, but inside the computer they work by turning tiny electronic transistor switches on and off. A "one" turns a switch on, and a "zero" turns it off. Today, a typical computer has several million tiny transistor switches, so the combinations can create code that is practically infinite.
Making digital music can be a matter of putting to use some basic programming skills – knowing the computer's "language" and then writing a series of commands for the computer to follow. |
