Electronic Music Circuits by Barry Klein

"I originally wrote Electronic Music Circuits back in 1982. Published by SAMS, it went out of print a couple years later, as interests turned to computers and digital synths. But interest in analog synthesis has returned! If you want to build your own synth, repair an old one, or just try and understand the basics of analog synth design this book is for you.

I have enlarged the page size to 8 1/2" x 11" and made corrections to several of the original circuits. The pages are held together by a plastic "GBC" binding that allows one to open the book on a lab bench for reference while working on a design. The book has schematics for VCO's, VCF's, VCA's, envelope generators, noise sources, keyboard interfaces, sequencers, and much more (over 300 pages). Check here for the table of contents . Each of these schematics is accompanied by descriptions of the theory involved in the design but I tried to keep the math to a minimum. These designs have been implemented in some pretty amazing home-built synths."
