Tom,

This is out of print now but you might be able to find a copy:

A Digital Signal Processing Primer with Applications to Digital Audio and
Computer Music
Author is Ken Steiglitz

It's pretty basic and keeps things relatively simple. With DSPs you just
can't get rid of the math and if you want something complex the math will
probably be complex.

Good luck.
