What does RTPC mean in UNCLASSIFIED

RTPC is a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) technology that allows musicians to manipulate the parameters of sound sources in real-time while performing. These parameters can include things like volume, panning, filter cutoff frequency, and more. RTPC messages are sent from a MIDI controller, such as a keyboard or fader, to a sound source, which then responds by changing the specified parameter.

RTPC can provide musicians with a great deal of expressive control over their sound sources. By being able to manipulate parameters in real-time, musicians can create more dynamic and expressive performances. RTPC can also be used to create complex sound effects and textures that would not be possible using traditional methods.

To use RTPC, you will need a MIDI controller that supports RTPC and a sound source that is capable of receiving RTPC messages. Once you have connected your controller to your sound source, you can assign different RTPC messages to different controllers on your MIDI keyboard or fader. When you move the controller, the corresponding parameter on your sound source will change in real-time.

Here are a few examples of how you can use RTPC in your music:

• You can use RTPC to control the volume of a sound source, allowing you to create swells and fades in real-time.
• You can use RTPC to control the panning of a sound source, allowing you to move the sound around the stereo field in real-time.
• You can use RTPC to control the filter cutoff frequency of a sound source, allowing you to create sweeping filter effects in real-time.
• You can use RTPC to control any other parameter that your sound source supports, allowing you to create an endless variety of sound effects and textures.
