Well, one topic that doesn't seem to feature much, except in descriptions of synths is actual synthesis techniques - by which I mean algorithms etc. I know this might be boring - but i'm wanting to put together a computer based system that will probably be initially delayed-playback, but that will have all the flexiblity of a modular synth but with all the techniques present in modern synths available as well... a tall order probably, but I am a programmer which helps. What i'd like is some info on good books containing descriptions of algorithms and techniques of everything from simple DCO's to reverb, harmonisers and vocoders... Ive already got Hal Chamberlains book, but it doesn't cover things like granular synthesis, Karplus-Strong etc. Any suggestions? Thanks... ******************************************************************************* White Rabbit : found in these burrows * * JANET : sxa@uk.ac.dl.cxa * Internet : sxa%cxa.dl.ac.uk * ...and the dormouse said EARN/Bitnet: sxa%cxa.dl.ac.uk@UKACRL * UUCP : sxa%cxa.dl.ac.uk@ukc.uucp * feed your head.
