Annotated Bibliography used in sig++ implementation

Entries are approximatly ordered by their importance/influence on how I implemented various sig classes.

Dodge, Charles and Thomas Jerse. Computer Music: Synthesis,
     Composition, and Performance. New York: Schirmer Books; 1985.

A classical text for Computer Music. Has a second edition that came out in 1997, but that edition has a picture of a Macintosh mouse on it. First edition has psuedocode in FORTRAN, the second edition is in C psuedocode.

Steiglitz, Ken.  A Digital Signal Processing Primer. New York:
     Addison-Wesley; 1996.  pp. 113-119.  [TK5102.9.S74]

Excelent bridge between the books by Dodge & Jerse and Oppenheim & Schafer. Categorizes filters intuitively and presents technical material at a nice introductory level. Assumes that you know Calculus.

Roads, Curtis.  The Computer Music Tutorial.  Cambridge, 
     Massachusetts: MIT Press; 1996.  pp. 417-418.  [MT56.R6 1995]

An Encyclopedic work on Computer Music. Has everything, which is not always what you want. Can be vague and summarizing at times, but has top-notch references listed for further study. Gives the big big picture of computer music.

 
Oppenheim, Alan V. and Ronald W. Schafer, Discrete-Time Signal 
     Processing. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice Hall; 
     1989.  pp.234-240.  [TK5102.5.02452 1989]

The ultimate for the description of linear filters. Will put you to sleep if you aren't familiar with the material being discussed; otherwise, it is the greatest book on filtering ever.

Winsor, Phil and Gene DeLisa. Computer Music in C. Blue Ridge Summit,
   Pennsylvania: TAB Books; 1991. pp. 177-205.

Here are some books which are or seem useful, but I haven't gotten around to reading/implementing from them.

Rorabaugh, C. Britton.  Digital Filter Designer's Handbook with C++ 
     Algorithms.  New York: McGraw-Hill; 1997. [TK7878.F5R68 1997]
     [ISBN 0-07-053806-9 (hc)]

When I get to implementing more digital filters, this is where I might start.

Messick, Paul.  Maximum MIDI: Music Applications in C++.  Greenwich,
     Connecticutt: Manning Publications Co.; 1998. [MT723.M48 1997]
     [ISBN 1-884777-44-9].

Good reference understanding how to program for MIDI in Windows 95 using Microsoft Visual C++.

Tranter, Jeff.  Linux Multimedia Guide.  Sebastopol, California:
     O'Reilly & Assoiciates; 1996. [ISBN 1-56592-219-0]

An OK reference, but Linux is not the best for multimedia yet. The description of MIDI is particularly lacking. However, there is a pretty good description of Audio I/O.
