just what I need it, I'm a sound engineer student, and will be graduating here in a bit. This is what I need to get my gears turning. Thanks for the book coming with everything and being in tact. No complimants
This book is pretty much what i expected a thorough yet easy to understand guide to the world of sound synthesis and sampling. It's full with terminology and interesting tid bits related to the history of sound. Any avid producer of electronic music old or new, novice or experienced will take advantage of the indepth knowledge that this text has to offer.
positive:-This book is a good introduction to the most common sound synthesis techniques. The books is divided in analog, hybrid and digital techniques. For each of these techniques there are explenations of all the components and also some examples are given of existing instruments. The book also offers a historical perspective with timelines and different technologies for each era.-Good written text with clean figures and diagrams.negative:-This is not a book that explains the electronics in detail so don't expect full schematics of VCO, VCF, VCA etc. There are some of these schematics, but they are very basic and conceptual and the explenation is quite sparse.-There are a few mistakes in the book and editing is not superb. For example some of the timeline tables mention several synthesizers more than once and with different dates!
I give this book a 5/5 because not only did I need this book for class, but it was a good read overall. I also usually enjoy reading Focal Press books.
A good and complete book, exactly the kind of book I needed to get introduced to sound synthesis.
