1.0 out of 5 stars Full of textual & conceptual errors, most circuits wont work, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sound Synthesis: Analog and Digital Techniques (Paperback)
I bought this book mail order some years ago, an was amazed that anyone could print such junk. The circuits are conceptually wrong, the supporting text often describes impossible circuit action. Anyone building stuff from this book will be in for big dissapointment - I'm a degree qualified electronics engineer and a keen musician. Books like this can ruin enthusiasm for electronics /electronic music as you'll spend lots of cash on components and build circuits that are totally useless. If you want to build analogue synth projects, the Net is the best resource at the moment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the hobbyist, May 17, 2000
The final goal of this book is to build up an analog synthesizer a very easy way. For those "do it yourself" guys who enjoy and triumph over themselves by constructing everything and take pictures of them beside the appliance, it is ok. But it will also be useful for those audio fans who would like to understand the principles of analog synthesis, being the basis of the understanding of the appications of DSP for audio.

Good for the hobbyist and for the Electronics Engineer too
