What's the name of that book?

Post by Lengai » Fri Feb 11, 2005 8:04 pm

Hi,

I've seen a couple of posts by new Voyager users who asked if there were any books that would help them out with analog synthesis. Someone strongly suggested an out-of-print book that I can't remember the name of and now the thread is lost in the forum void.

Can whoever knows the book I'm describing please give me the name so I can get a copy?

Thanks!

Lengal -

I second the recommendation from TuneLow on the Jim Aiken book "Power Tools for Synthesizer Programmers". It was published last year and is very up-to-date. It contains everything a novice needs to know. Also included is a CD of audio examples.

Soft cover, $24.95 at Borders. Probably less at Amazon.

I suggest Synthesizer Technique.

This book was an immense help to me in my formative years. Read it -literally- until it fell apart, years before I could afford a synth.
