ReplyDeletethat's quaint.
What's a book?
Is it like a biodegradable crystal?
hmm.
ReplyDeleteThat's 'ableton' green.
And 'Appleton' and 'Ableton'...
hmmm.
If someone is really interested in this book, it is available at AbeBooks for 13 bucks (instead of the $40-$60 being asked on ebay - btw, who is Wavetronics? Is that Paul S.?).
ReplyDeleteThe other title Peter mentioned is going for about $70.
seriously...why did it go for so much money....
ReplyDeletethere are versions on amazon.com for like under $10....all the way down to $3 + shipping
some people are addicted to ebay.
ReplyDeleteExcellent book! I think it's my favorite of all synth books I have, although Vail's book is better for pictures and drooling.

ReplyDeleteWavetronics is Steven D Korchak, a guy with a large Moog modular.
ReplyDeleteHe does nothing with it except stare at the panels.
I have the Appleton textbook. An interesting book for it's day. Not as nice as some of the newer ones like Synths By Devarahi, Becker, PF, or MST. Depends on what you want. That's too much money for that book, but they are kinda rare. You can find anything for a little money or for a lot. I listened to some of Steve's music. Very nice. Better than most hobbiest I have listened to. His recent music is even better.
