A Sound Experimentation Facility for Children (MIT bachelor's thesis, 1976)
A 42-page MIT electrical engineering bachelor's thesis from May 1976 describing a facility for defining waveforms and sequencing sound in LOGO on a minicomputer.
This 42-page bachelor's thesis in electrical engineering was submitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in May 1976. It describes a sound experimentation facility for LOGO running on a minicomputer. LOGO is the programming language built so children could steer a computer with short commands.
The abstract says the system lets a user define and modify waveforms, sequence sonic events, and produce high quality sound. Music, it adds, can be represented only at a primitive level.
The table of contents lists a section called Bells and Whistles, a table of macro-codes, and program listings, which puts the machine-level detail of a 1976 educational sound system on the record alongside the description.
