[sdiy] books on synthesisers

[BrightBoy]

I still have New Old Stock (NOS) copies of the 2nd edition hardcover MAM book
by Hal Chamberlin available for sale.

Closest you'll get to a time machine.

Please note that it's getting very expensive to ship this book to countries outside
of the USA.

I'm not sure if rates increased again this year but in recent years it's been on the
order of $30 - $40 depending on where you live (and that's using a USPS Priority
flat rate box option that just barely fits)

Contact me privately if you are interested and indicate where you live so I can accurately
lookup and calculate a shipped price.

Jeff

When you say you wanted to build synths, I assumed analog, but I don't think you said that.. 
 
Dd anyone mentioned Hal Chamberlin's "Musical Applications of Microprocessors"?   It has a section on analog before getting into digital control and synthesis.  Good basic principles of both.  Someone on the list was selling NOS copies a while back, and i think I've seen it as a pdf.
 
For MIDI stuff or dirty digital synthesis, you might want to look at Arduinos as an easy way in, and "Arduino for Musicians" by Brent Edstrom is a good mixture of coding and electronics - although there are plenty of online Arduino synth resources and code.
