Synth DIY books: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

This booklet from Thomas Henry is about twice the size of the smaller ones. It contains a lot of basic information about how to synthesize drums, and as well as several filters/tone generation circuits, it also includes a simple VCA, PSU, white noise generator, percussive-type envelope generator, and even how to build a simple drum pad using conductive foam.

=== Electronic Music and Creative Tape Recording, M.K. Berry ===

Bernard Babani, 1978, ISBN 0900162724, 'BP51', 87 pages.

Typical Babani pocket-book. About half this book is about recording on tape, and splicing etc. to manipulate the sound, but there are also lots of very simple circuits of a VCO, VCA (MC3340), and other effects like fuzz etc. One of the more complicated circuits seems quite out of place, a diode ladder filter - this book is the source of the circuit found in several places on the net: [http://www.syntiac.com/ext/modulus5.pdf Modulus newsletter] and [http://www.freeinfosociety.com/electronics/schemview.php?id=329 The Free Information Society]

=== Electronic Music Circuits, Barry Klein ===

Originally published by Howard Sams, 1982, 302 pages. Now available direct from the author, [http://members.cox.net/barryklein/em.htm Electronic Music Circuits] in a comb-bound form, updated in 1996.

=== Electronic Synthesiser Projects, M.K. Berry ===

Bernard Babani, 1981, ISBN 0859340562, 'BP81', 81 pages.

Typical Babani pocket-book (note the non-conventional spelling in the title). It contains details for a basic synth, but again uses some now hard-to-get chips, namely the SN76477 'single chip synth' and a TDA1022 BBD delay. other circuits include a 4017-based sequencer, 8038 and 555 VCOs, and a logic-based ADSR.
