Magnus/synths/books.html

This is a tryout on an idea to collect book references for Synth DIY folks. I selected to add a number of
books in adjacent fields since I felt that these where more or less usefull for people. I hope that people will
contribute to make the reference more complete.

For some books have comments been provided, these are the personal views of those persons, may it be
good or bad. Some of these books I don't own and thus can't really say much about, you will however see
what books I own, since I added a longer comments on these. Others have been very kind to contribute
both comments and additional books, there names can be find below. I have marked the comments with a
small code, so that one can see who had that comment.

Contributors (in order of contribution):

Magnus Danielson (MD), Jerry Federspiel (for a summary to start from), Anthony ?? (A?), Björn Julin
(BJ), Ian Fritz (IF), Steve Varner (for a pointer to MM), Jessica Piper (JP) and Tim Nowaczyk

Filtering in the Time and Frequency Domains

1976 by Krieger Publishing Company
ISBN 0-89874-952-2.
MD: This is a very good book on filter theory and also on the various approximate responces like
Butterworth, Bessel, Chebychev, Lagendre and Gauss. It also has a chapter on digital filters in the
end, but what a chapter! I warmly recommend this book.

Joel Chadabe
Electric Sound: The Past and Promise of Electronic Music
1996 (first edition) by Prentice Hall, 370 pages
ISBN 0-131-03231-0 (paperback)
JP: This is a very well-researched, well-written book. It traces the history of computer music,
focusing on the universities and major electronic music labs. The closest it gets to analog synths and
non- or semi-university affiliated individuals is some stuff about Morton Subnotnik, Don Buchla &
Pauline Oliveros, and a short bit about Bob Moog. Chadabe goes on at great length, and in great
detail, about IRCAM, Max Matthews and the GROOVE project, Serge & Ivan Tcheperin at
Harvard, etc. Not without limitations, and written about a more highbrow crowd than many on
Synth-DIY (or certainly Analog Heaven) would be interested in, but recommended none the less.

recommend it. Since Dr. Franco has been designing music synthesizers himself it is not supprising
that curcuits that play a role for synth DIYers is to be found here. This book outweigth many other
op-amp books with much better descriptions as well as practicall orientation and example curcuits
with real component values.

MD: This is a great book on analog circuits. While oriented towards analog ICs it is not a limiting

MD: This is a very good book for those seeking hands-on tips on how to really design and measure
high-speed digital designs. This book doesn't describe any of that digital theory, it assumes you
know that and just have trouble making good designs. It is a very crash-coarse oriented book that

paths of currents, impedance mathching etc. A lot of these techniques makes sound reading even

MD: This is a high quality book by real researchers in the field. It is a complementary book to

However, these two books cover the field of DSPs so well that many other books become useless.
This is a reference book indeed. I ended up getting this book while running across it in Washington

Making Music With Microprocessors.
1984 by Tab Books.
ISBN 0-830-60729-3 (hard cover?) and ISBN 0-830-61729-9 (pocket).
JP: The title is misleading; the book is actually about building a hybrid computer-controlled analog
synthesizer. The introduction discusses basic music theory, notation, and acoustics. The next
sections presents some basic analog synth circuits. (And never mentions the touchy subject of
exponential conversion!) The rest of the book discusses using laughably obsolete single board
computers such as the KIM-1 to control the synthesizer. All in all a standard mediocre TAB
application book.

anecdotes that makes you think a bit different or maybe make you learn what was important and
what was not important. He knows his field well and doesn't hide his own failures, rather, they
become good stories too in the end.
