When you say you wanted to build synths, I assumed analog, but I don't
think you said that..

Dd anyone mentioned Hal Chamberlin's "Musical Applications of
Microprocessors"?   It has a section on analog before getting into digital
control and synthesis.  Good basic principles of both.  Someone on the list
was selling NOS copies a while back, and i think I've seen it as a pdf.

For MIDI stuff or dirty digital synthesis, you might want to look at
Arduinos as an easy way in, and "Arduino for Musicians" by Brent Edstrom is
a good mixture of coding and electronics - although there are plenty of
online Arduino synth resources and code.
