Hi all,

I've been spending the extra minutes today looking back through the Analogue
Heaven archives about books such as the Allen Strange one. I'm going on
vacation in a week and was hoping to find something I could buy, but it
looks like all the good books require out-of-print book searches!

I think I'm a fairly good synthesizer programmer/patch creator, but when you
guys start talking about alternative applications of modules (outside of the
typical normalled routing of analog and digital subtractive synthesizers), I
get dizzy. This is my first modular, and I would love to get some more book
learnin' in about it. Don't worry, I experiment on my own a lot too, but I'd
love to get excited about a quad VCA because of its panning capabilities...
I can't right now 'cause I have no idea how such a thing works! Do you know
what I mean?

So does anyone know of an in-print and/or readily available book that covers
subtractive synthesis from a modular perspective? I have a voracious
appetite for this kind of knowledge, and I'm going to be spending a lazy
week on a beach without a phone (or a modular!)... I could use a good book.

Thanks in advance--you guys always give great help!
