[sdiy] Imperfect VCO

[Bert Schiettecatte]

I'm afraid most of this stuff has been kept secret... there is a great
deal out there you can learn I think, but the real tricks were never
revealed to me--and I spent one year at the Center for Computer Research
in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Stanford University..... I thought I'd
learn a few tricks there but .. :-(

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,
Magnus
