[sdiy] Book Recommendations

[David G Dixon]

I love the book Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits by
Coughlin and Driscoll.  That book is my "go-to" when I need to learn (or
remember) how to design a certain circuit block or other.

Also, don't ignore Ray Wilson's (RIP) old website, Music from Outer Space.
It is a very good resource for understanding basic analog synth circuits,
even if one doesn't always agree with Ray's design choices.

Also, the Cookbooks by Don Lancaster (RIP) are very useful: The Active
Filter Cookbook, the CMOS Cookbook, and even the TTL Cookbook.

Finally, if you really want to really understand transistors, I found
Malvino's textbook, Electronic Principles, to be very clear and well
written.  I have the second edition, which my university library was
throwing out, but you can find older editions very cheap.

- Practical Electronics for Inventors 4th Ed. by Scherz & Monk
- Musical Applications of Microprocessors 1st Ed. by Chamberlin
- The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizers Parts One & Two Revised by Forrest

Planning to get:

- Musical Applications of Microprocessors 2nd Ed. by Chamberlin (about 
to order this from Jeff)
- Fundamentals of Music Processing 2nd Ed. by Müller
- Electronic Music Circuits by Klein
- Microsound by Roads
