An influential book which grew out of handouts for a course to re-connect students with tangible, physical electronics. It’s a guide to the lowest tech electronic music possible; circuit-bending existing toys, moving on to building simple oscillators, filters, amplifiers using CMOS circuits. Simple, inspiring projects that work and will get you started in music DIY.<ref>[http://musicthing.co.uk/modular/?p=835 Handmade Electronic Music by Nicholas Collins], Music Thing Modular</ref> |

A larger-than-usual offering from Thomas Henry. It includes detail on how to use three VCO chips: the 566, 8038 and XR-2206. Some of the information is taken from ''Making Music with the 566'' (q.v.), but there is much more here besides, including exponential conversion, triangle-to-sine waveshaping etc.<ref name="ts" /> |
