""The Beginner's Book Of Electronic Music" book by Delton T. Horn

Printed in 1983.
First Edition. First Printing.
376 Pages. Hardcover.

"Explore the exciting world of electronic music...discover the impact that new technology has made on the range and variety of synthesized sound...learn how you can create your own synthesized live or recorded sound using home-built circuitry or commercially available equipment! All this and more is included in this up-to-the-minute guide to synthesized music for both electronics and music hobbyists. Plus, it includes an extensive listing of available electronic music recordings and a complete buyer's guide to the commercial synthesizing equipment (modular, normalized, pre-set, and computerized).

Sound and acoustic principles are thoroughly reviewed and there's a detailed look at sound sources for electronic music- oscillators, noise generators, and recorded sounds. You'll learn how new sounds can be created by additive or subtractive synthesis, and the fundamentals of using filters, amplifiers, modulation, controllers, and other devices to manipulate musical sounds. There's also lots of practical advice on setting up your own electronic music studio.

Other topics covered: the basic of tape recording and editing; the ways modules can be interconnected to create sound s (patching); how-to's for combining electronic sounds into a unified musical work; how to manipulate natural sounds by electronic means (Musique Concrete); information on sonic environments, and a look at the special problems of live electronic music performance.

Packed with the kind of information you'll need to understand the fundamentals of synthesized music and the circuit data you'll need to start creating our own electronic music projects, this is a book that every electronic music enthusiast will want to refer to time and time again!"

Contains pictures of: The Maplin 5600S (Amazing color picture on the cover!), Korg VC-10, Korg X-911, Korg PS-3200, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 and 10, Sequential Circuits Poly-Sequencer, Oberheim OB-Xa, Moog Source, Moog Taurus, Moog MG-1, Korg Trident, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, Moog Prodigy, Moog Rogue, PolyMoog, Korg MS-10, Paia 2700 Modular, and many more!"

"Oscillators Simplified With 61 Projects book by Delton T. Horn.
Printed in 1987.
Hardcover.
First Edition. First Printing.

"One of the most basic of all electronic circuits is the oscillator, or signal generator. Virtually all electronic systems incorporate at least one such circuit. While information on signal generators is not terribly hard to find, there has been no single source devoted to the oscillator until now. This book tells you all you need to know about oscillator and signal generator circuits for almost any application. Over 60 practical projects are included. These circuits can be readily adapted to suit your individual requirements."

Projects include:
Triangle Wave Generator, Quick & Dirty Rectangle Wave Generator, Double Oscillator, Super Simple Square Wave Oscillator, Simple VCO Circuit, Voltage-Controlled Sine Wave Oscillator, Op Amp VCO, Clock Pulse Generator, Gate Clock Pulse Generator, Practical Four Step Programmable Function Generator, Musical Tone Generator, Simple Organ, Staircase Wave Generator, Complex Tone Generator, Four Step Digital Sequencer, Ten Step Digital Sequencer, Random Tone Generator, Top Octave Generator Circuit, and many more."
