From a user review on Amazon:
"This book advocates building your own modular synthesizer as opposed to purchasing a mass-produced instrument. Given the fact that the book was published in 1987 (about three years after MIDI's public debut) and long after polyphonic synths with digital memories had generally displaced modular synths in the public's eye, one is left to question the premise that you could build an instrument that would be superior. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though, eh?
This book contains cicuit diagrams for many of the basic components found in a modular synthesizer, but sadly, they are all based around CEM chips (Curtis Electromusic Specialties) which are no longer widely available. Assuming you were able to find a set on Ebay, this hardly seems like an attractive option with all of the companies like Paia, Blacet, Modcan, MOTM, synthesizers.com among others who offer kits and/or pre-built modules.
Overall, an interesting historical read, but of very little practical worth."
