Analogue systems

hello, 
my aim is to provide focused literature on how to operate a modular 
synthesizer.
the site is located @

thank you for checking,
i'm looking forward to your replies!

hello,
thanks arnauld! btw,
i just updated my site with more info and literature and links, and a 
pic of my modular as well :)

You're right, of course, as is the majority of Van Nostrand's 
Scientific Encyclopedia, which might as profitably have been thrown 
in.

Naw, could seem minutely bloviatory, but let's keep a sieve in the 
bathtub here, for the baby.

Not trying to be a butt head, as they say in America, but statements such as
this in the Sound and Sound write up covering the fundementals of physics in
sound I found to be a bit foolish:

<<Pythagoras was blown away by his discovery, and placed numerology at the
heart of his philosophy. Unfortunately, he and his followers then went off
the rails a bit and tried to determine similar numerical relationships for
the periods and orbits of the five known planets, the sun and the moon, thus
giving rise to the mythical 'music of the spheres'. If they had only looked
at the very small instead of the very large (discovering Quantum Mechanics
in the process) they would have been much more successful.>>

Was he like, totally stoked?  Duuuuude, had he only looked through a
micrososcope or something dude, instead of like, gazing at the heavens. That
would have been like, totally rad, man.

Why? It's all perfectly correct.

Yes, it's perfectly correct - but personally I find the use of the term
'blown away' condescending.  It's like a nursery tale - as if we need it
explained that way to grok it. And the bit about  'discovering Quantum
Mechanics in the process' - OK fine, but please.

True, but you've taken it out of context. That was part 1 of a series 
in Sound On Sound that already runs to 58 parts. The first part or 
chapter of any significant work tends to be a bit lighthearted in order 
to get readers comfortable with the subject matter.

Now, tell me truly whether you fully understood the maths outlining the 
Bessel Functions in parts 12 and 13, or how S&H leads to A/D and D/A 
converters in parts 16 and 17, or the theory of Pulse Width Modulation 
in part 46, or... Well, you get my drift. If you want hard facts, 
they're all there, too. And if you would like to discuss Quantum 
Mechanics or Cosmology, we can do that as well.

Hi Gordon,
I think it's a great site anyway, good information without leaning 
towards certain manufacturers.
