MOTM

Someone a while ago was asking about books and such to learn the very basics 
of synthesis.  Here is a very general overview available online:

The "components" area talks about specifics such as VCO's etc.

h3y ivan,
i think that was probably me.  i'm not lookin' for synth basics, 
though.  i understand that to a usable extent.  well, at least 
subtractive. i'm more interested in the wonderous beauty that is cv.  
all the glorious ins an' outs in one compellin' book.  it would 
probably make more sense to me if'n my kits ever arrive (no paul, i'm 
not harpin' on you, i realise you're busy) 
 and controllers especially sequencers.  hard to visualise an 
understandin' with no toys to play with.  tryin' to acquire allen 
strange's book, but seem to be either a day late or $400(i'm not 
kiddin' here) short.  still need to hit the nscc or uw, but haven't 
yet had the time.  tried sts, they haven't returned my call, tried 
again and their voice mail was full.  eventually methinks...
peace,
doc

turn up, you may just have to be patient.

h3y dave,
i realised patience was key when harvestbooks.com found me a copy in 
36 hours for the modest sum of $400.  when asked if'n it was a typo 
she apologised profusely sayin' it was not, but she'd continue to 
search...
peace,
doc

Yeah, but that includes shipping too!
