[sdiy] A book about analogue synthesizer circuits?

[R. Drake]

Thomas,

i've been looking for the same book you've described.  recently bought
barry's book--it is very helpful, especially in stepping thru theory as it
relates to the specific circuits.  the only disappointment is that a
significant number of the circuits (maybe half?) use SSM or CEM parts that
are no longer manufactured & mostly unavailable.
