Ehum... while we are almost at it... is there some fairly up to date book on
music/synth related DSP going into the tricks and trades of software/DSP synths
etc? I do not mean beginners book on DSPs, but more of the speciallized coarse
or whatever. I already have good books on DSPs (Rabiner&Gold, Oppenheimer&
Shafer) and I've seen a DSP on a postcard before (hacked hardwired DSP for
production use) so I really just want to learn what people are up to these
days.

Cheers,
