Could you please give me advice for a good and more in-depth book about synthesis?
Hi Chemishev,

I currently teach music synthesis at several colleges near Sweetwater, and at Sweetwater U. Prior to that, I was an Associate Professor of Music Synthesis at Berklee College of Music. I always recommend:

Power Tools for Synth Programming
http://www.amazon.com/Power-Tools-Synth ... 0879307730#

It was written by Jim Akin, who was Editor-In-Chief for Keyboard magazine for many years. And, since I was hired to be the proofreader for this book before its publication, I can definitively say that I fully agree with everything that's in the book. :twisted:

It's reasonably priced and, because it's a college text book, you can often find a used copy for even less.

It also comes with an audio CD of sonic examples of what each section is discussing.
