"The Garden of Memory gig I'm playing in a duo with Henry Kaiser is two weeks from tonight. There's always enough fun things going on at this walk through event to keep even the most jaded new-music aficionado amused."

Sound Advice DVD on Synthesis

* Disc 1 explores the many ways you can edit or tweak voices and also teaches you how to create a series of ‘simple' voices from scratch. This disc offers a unique insight into the life of a professional sound designer, not only providing hard technical advice but also revealing some of the fascinating philosophies and approaches used by the pros.
* Disc 2 provides an extensive parameter-by-parameter trawl through a classic analog-style sound engine. From the waveforms and pitch parameters, to multi-mode filters, EGs, LFOs - Nothing is overlooked. The DVD menu is particularly helpful here since you can view by Section, or simply dive straight into a parameter you need to learn about using a separate glossary-style system.
* Disc 3 doesn't just lift the lid on FX, it displays all of the ingredients and provides you with endless recipes for creating, plus tips on applying, digital effects."
"'All you need to know about oscillators, filters, envelopes, dynamics and effects that will enable you to produce the sound that you are looking for on your synth - totally from scratch,' says legendary producer and 2007 GRAMMY nominee Alan Parsons."

The VCO Chip Cookbook

via electro-music.com:
"Ms Electronics is very proud to publish and distribute the new 118 page book by Thomas Henry entitled :
The VCO Chip Cookbook
It's impossible to do serious analog synthesis with chips like the 566, 8038 and XR-2206, right? Wrong! They've got loads of life left in them, but only if you let an outsider like Thomas Henry steer you in the right direction.
Forget the pessimistic data sheets from the manufacturers; in this amazing guide you'll learn the secrets only a handful of designers are aware of. Drawing extensively from his personal lab notebooks, the author sets the record straight, presenting accurate design details in a friendly yet complete form.
To round out the deal, there are over one-hundred figures, tables, helpful hints, schematics, design equations and simulation graphs, making this the single most important resource for electronic music designers wishing to exploit integrated VCO chips. The only mathematics required is a smattering of simple high school algebra. Best of all, every circuit and technique described has been thoroughly tested at the workbench; you can design neat circuits with confidence now.
Learn how to put the 566, 8038 and XR-2206 chips under linear or exponential control, get square, sub-octave, triangle, sine, ramp and pulse-width modulated outputs, add in hard sync, balanced modulation, temperature compensation, interface to CMOS, and even obtain a wild rampoid output with no commercial equivalent!
As icing on the cake you'll find resource information, a complete bibliography and three appendices showing you how to build your own VCO test equipment.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Thomas Henry is the author of over 130 articles and eight books on the subjects of mathematics, electronic music, microcomputers, astronomy, magic and caves. Most days of the year, you'll find him as an extremely busy mathematics instructor at South Central College in Minnesota.

Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein - Urban Legend Solved
YouTube via joneps. Sent my way via Ben.
Urban Legend bit: What's funny about this is way back I heard about how the Edgar Winter Group played an ARP 2600 as a strap on keytar when playing the track Frankenstein live. I thought the notion was pretty insane considering the size and probable weight of the 2600. So when Ben sent this my way, I was obviously pretty excited. I would finally get to see it. Check it out!
