Hi John n All !


"Many years" does, in this case, encompass part of the '70s .  Just 
that Belgium is not very near (a bus ride away, or so) the US or 
London, besides if one does not really know what one is looking for 
... ;-)  Boy, would i have liked to have something like what the 
internet is now, back then .

The MIT books you mention i have got, they cover a lot of ground .
Then there is Current Directions in Computer Music Research, Mathews 
and Pierce, MIT press ISBN 0-262-13241-9 hard cover .  Not forgetting 
the computer music tutorial by Roads (recent aquisition, have hardly 
touched it yet)  Then there are some Computer Music Journal (MIT) 
issues i own, picked up at various locations .  I did not mention 
analogue EM MIT books, so can't help you there :)  Seriously, the MIT 
books have bearing on how one produces sound .  Much of it is just 
good theory, some also applicable to the analogue domain as well .  

Also, i think there are still a lot of possibilities open in 
combining both analogue and digital :  wavetable oscillators, 
nonlinear transfer functions, convolution osc, delay based anything, 
etc ...  Up to a few years ago these would have been outside the diy 
realm, these days microcontrollers fast enough or containing a DSP 
core are available with affordable development software and  
computers to run these .  A pity that (afaik) all computer or dsp 
based systems deny (:)) the existence of something like voltage 
control, as not a single one has DC coupled inputs nor the 
possibility to add them .

This has brought us far from the original post and question .

Has it helped anyone ? :)

Take care .

Keep 'em oscillating :)
