Book Reviews of Analog Synthesizers: Understanding, Performing, Buying- from the legacy of Moog to software synthesis
Book Review: Informative, to say the least!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book (which I still have yet to come close to finishing) is unbelievable in the amount of information that is contained in here. Not to mention its all about analog synthesizers which is hard to believe given some text books stray away from the topic and give other useless information...
If you want to learn about these things and you are down for studying once in a while this is the book!

Summary of Analog Synthesizers: Understanding, Performing, Buying- from the legacy of Moog to software synthesis
In this book, the technical explanation of the nature of analog sound creation is followed by the story of its birth and its subsequent development by various designers, manufacturers and performers.The individual components of analog sound creation are then examined in detail, with step by step examples of sound creation techniques. Then the modern imitative analog instruments are examined, again with detailed instructions for programming and using them, and the book is completed with appendices listing the major instrument lines available, hints on values and purchasing, other sources of information, and a discography of readily available recordings which give good examples of analog sound synthesis.
The CD which accompanies the book gives many examples of analog sound creation basics as well as more advanced techniques, and of the abilities of the individual instruments associated with classical and with imitative analog sound synthesis.
* A complete history of analog sound in one work
* Interviews with industry Legends and developers of of analog synthesizers
* Audio CD of demo sounds and tuitional pieces to illustrate the processes discussed in the book
