Typical Babani pocket-book. The circuits in this book are mostly fairly simple, and many are aimed at the guitarist: wah wah, fuzz, sustain etc.; there is actually a circuit for a spring reverb unit (though there doesn't appear to be anything like a specification for the spring tank itself); a Stylophone-like 'Stylus Organ'; the most synth-like circuit is a 555-based oscillator, but it isn't voltage-controlled.<ref name="ts"/> |

Although primarily concerned with microprocessors and their use within sound and music synthesis, early chapters have introductory material on synthesis in general, including methods using tape, voltage control etc. There is also a nice chapter giving typical examples of basic analogue circuits such as VCOs, VCFs, VCAs etc., with good explanations of how they work.<ref name="ts"/> If you get just one book, this is the book to get. Although it has "microprocessors" in the title, it has a superb section on analog circuits.<ref>Electronics for Music Synthesis, [http://users.ece.gatech.edu/lanterma/ems10/ References], 2010 by Aaron Lanterman</ref><ref name="sd">[http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30715&start=all&postdays=0&postorder=asc synthesizer design]</ref> |
