JSyn uses native methods written in 'C' to provide real-time audio synthesis for Java programmers. JSyn can be used to generate sound effects, audio environments, or music. JSyn is based on the traditional model of unit generators which can be connected together to form complex sounds. For example, you could create a wind sound by connecting a white noise generator to a low pass filter that is modulated by random ramp generators. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90988 This site contains an extensive set of notes on basic topics in physics.
