  • This book covers ground that is often left untouched by other synthesizer books and was written to fulfill the wishes voiced by synth programmers. Section one explains the parts of an analog synth in detail using harmonic and waveform analysis to make clear exactly what each synth parameter does. Section two is probably the most important section added to the new edition and it explains through examples how to use freely available harmonic and waveform analysis software to analyze and recreate patches from other synths, sounds found in songs, and the synthesis of acoustic instruments. Section three contains all 102 of the original 1st and 2nd edition universal patches for ALL dual-oscillator analog synths. The acoustic patches are based on harmonic analysis and are exceedingly close to the real instruments. An included CD contains the new SCB VSTi softsynth and audio samples for synthesizer calibration as well as a full album of electronica.

Piano & Keyboards Editorial Review

  • ubuy Kenya
  • ubuy Kenya

The "Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook" is a great resource for synthesizer users, especially those looking to create electronic sounds. It covers fundamental theory and understanding of basic synthesis, giving the reader the tools to get the most out of their prebuilt synth or simple modular setup. The patch recipes are useful, but it is important to understand the theory and context in the text in order to replicate them accurately. The harmonic analysis section is also well aligned with how many readers think and it provides a great collection of patches described generically for any 2+ oscillator analog synth. The theory in the book is great for beginners.
