fav synth books

I added a couple of these to my book links on the right of the site. Take a look at the list. If you think there are other books I should add to the list, feel free to comment.

  1. I like all the info that is gathered on the right hand side of Matrixsynth, but could it be put in its own section somewhere? Having that on every page increases load time, and pretty much make the vertical scroll bar useless for navigating threads because the right hand side's length usually swamps the length of the thread.

    Not a biggie, just a (minor) suggestion.

  2. The best one is missing. "Electronic Music - systems, techniques and controls" by Allen Strange.

  3. I wish I could remember the exact title of this book... It's by Alan Douglas from (probably) 1973. It has schematics as modern as a Moog VCF and as ancient as a Trautonium neon oscillator. I particularly remember diagrams of a touch sensitive keyboard that worked by dipping contact wires into ethylene glycol(!) and a continuous controller keyboard made from a tube of metal mesh. There'd be some interesting prompts for DIY projects in there these days. Could probably be found used on Amazon if I could recall the title.
