[sdiy] complete newbie :)

hey guys ...

ive been reading your emails for the last feww days and most
of what your talking about i kinda understand , im new to
synths but have been into electronics for awhile now and
work in an electronics store.

my question is does anyone know a good site or book to give
me an outline a broad overview on how a synth actually works
as in what you need to make sound from an electronic circuit
how you control it and change it(kinda like a flowchart and
a discription of what each part does). alot of sites tell me
what alot of the componts are but not an over view :)
im reading a book at the moment which is way over my head
(the electronic musical instrument manual by alan
douglas)its very technical but hopefully it will tell me
what i need to know :)

also any syth gurus with home build synths in New Zealand?

cheers :)
