=== ''Electronic Music IC Databook'' by Barry Klein ===

Published by the author, Barry Klein, along with [http://members.cox.net/barryklein/em.htm Electronic Music Circuits] (if you are serious about this stuff and are buying that book, buy this one too!).

This is a large (more than 300 pages) compendium of datasheets of old (generally) synthesizer-dedicated ICs. Some of the information is available online, most notably Synthesis Technology's [http://www.synthtech.com/cems.html CEM chip page], but for many of the chips, this is likely to be the only place you will find the data.

=== ''Electronotes'' edited by Bernie Hutchins ===

[http://electronotes.netfirms.com/ Electronotes] is a newsletter-like publication produced by Bernie Hutchins, covering technical details of music synthesis and sound processing: back-issues up to the very first issue in 1972 are available, and the complete set is a rich repository of circuits, techniques and ideas. The ''everything'' package is a huge amount of information – it amounts to about 30 useful-sized volumes, and occupies over 18 inches of shelf space! For those not wanting to go to the expense of getting everything, the ''Musical Engineer's Handbook'' and the ''Builder's Guide and Preferred Circuits Collection'' is a good compromise. Tim Stinchcombe has compiled an [http://www.timstinchcombe.co.uk/synth/Electronotes_EN_index.txt index of Electronotes], which may give an indication of the totality of subjects covered.<ref name="ts" /> It features commented historical designs by pioneers like Robert Moog and others.<ref name="sdiy-may-13">[http://dropmix.xs4all.nl/pipermail/synth-diy/2013-May/thread.html Hello, and some questions], Synth-diy email list, May 2013</ref>
