No board layouts but others here have them for some circuits.

Subject: [sdiy] A book about analogue synthesizer circuits?


I have searched amazon.com for a book that covers analogue circuitry,
preferably biased towards analogue synthesizer circuit designs and with a
nice mix of DIY examples and basic theory. So far I haven't found anything
that I feel is right on the money.

As a beginner it's easy to get confused and I don't really know what I'm
looking for? I have Stan Gibilisco's "Electricity and Electronics" and
eventhough it's interesting, its focus is too wide. I'm not interested in
circuits that don't make a sounds. :-) Also there are too few hands-on
examples and too much math.

The book I'm looking for has an introduction that presents the theory with
some nice tips and tricks and after that there are circuit diagrams and
card layouts that presents a project that covers the theory I have just
read.

Is there such a book?

Any reading that you think I would appreciate is welcome. Remember that
apart from many others on this list I have no academic
technological/mathematical background. I have studied languages,
communication and some computer science. My knowledge in electronics is so
far limited to "monkey-see-monkey-do" type of projects, but I have a
passion to learn more and my goal is to one day be able to come up with
designs of my own. (Just ask Magnus Danielsson who is constantly  pestered
with my questions whenever he's around. ;-)
