[sdiy] Synth Electronics

[Michael E Caloroso]

AES can be a good source of professional audio circuit theory including
synths.  The AES article library is online for AES members and can be
searched.  I'd say it's a good resource alongside Electronotes in that many
synth designers have contributed articles, Bernie amongst them.  I don't
know if Bernie is currently an AES member.

I'm not going to disclose the private and confidential nature of Bernie's
illness, suffice to say that with the passage of time since we met (~2017),
it is very likely that Bernie may be incapable of responding to queries
regarding the preservation of Electronotes.  Bernie has been a SDIY member
but it's been a few years since he has posted.
