520 a| This book explains just what synthesizers are, what they do, and how they have revolutionized the music industry. For some, the early part of this book will serve as an invaluable review. All should appreciate the concise introduction for the insight it sheds on digital theory. Digital and analog components, and interfacing standards, are examined in relation to music synthesis, and digitally generating and manipulating sounds is discussed. The bulk of the book is a review of commercial-quality digital synthesizers. Highlighted are the attributes and capabilities of most versions currently on the market. Less-sophisticated models, and less expensive ones can be found, but this resource covers those preferred by serious investors. Instruments manufactured by Yamaha, Casio, Siel, Oberheim, Kawai, and Wersi are included. And budding artists and hobbyists are not forgotten! Recognizing that many may wish to experiment before shelling out a lot of cash, the author includes a section on building your own synthesizer. Projects include keyboards, an op amp organ, digital poly-syngan, modulators, and drones. Invaluable appendices containing universal patch diagrams, TTL and CMOS IC pinouts also are a part of this guidebook to digital electronic music synthesizers.;
