Lovely, just wonderful. I'm surprised no one has tried to make a VST moddled on this.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to plug the HollowSun Novachord when it becomes available.
Harry F. Olson's book "Music, Physics and Engineering" is still in print, unlike most vintage synth books, probably because it's not per se about synths to begin with. It has a lot of RCA synth diagrams woven into the text.
