2Analog computer — An analog computer (spelt analogue in British English) is a form of computer that uses continuous physical phenomena such as electrical, [Universiteit van Amsterdam Computer Museum, (2007)] mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to model the problem …
3analog or analogue — Something that bears an analogy to something else. A photograph records the image of something, while an analog computer (also analogue computer) represents numerical data with measurable physical variables, such as electrical signals.… …
4Analog sound vs. digital sound — Analog sound versus digital sound compares the two ways in which sound is recorded and stored. Actual sound waves consist of continuous variations in air pressure. Representations of these signals can be recorded in either digital or analog… …
5Computer music — is a term that was originally used within academia to describe a field of study relating to the applications of computing technology in music composition; particularly that stemming from the Western art music tradition. It includes the theory and …
6computer — computerlike, adj. /keuhm pyooh teuhr/, n. 1. Also called processor. an electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of these operations. Cf. analog… …

9Analog-to-digital converter — An analog to digital converter (abbreviated ADC, A/D or A to D) is an electronic integrated circuit, which converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. The reverse operation is performed by a digital to analog converter… …
10analog-to-digital conversion — The electronic process of changing continuously varying wave form data into digital quantities that represent the magnitude of the data at the moment the conversion is made. The most common use is to change analog signals into a form that can… …
