Don't forget that a lot of the modules in the ASM1 are interpetations of
ones from the Electronotes Preferred Circuits Collection (All except the
ADSRs, if I recall correctly).  While the unit comes with enough details and
instruction to get everything working, the Electronotes stuff lends even
more insight to the design of synth modules.

They might be a little tough to get your hands on, but they can be well
worth it, if you want to learn more about synth module design.
