I'm glad to see someone recommending the library (guess where I work
;-) ) Chances are that you can find books on subtractive synthesis at
your local library as well. I just borrowed a copy of Allen Strange's
Electronic Music, which is considered by many to be the 'bible' of
modular synthesis. (After reading this book I might actually vote in
Paul's next poll) If you find a book at your library that you feel you
have to own, you can get on the web and find it for sale (new or
used).
The Whizoo book does cover all the basics, but I think it is a bit on
the pricey side for what it does cover. I downloaded the Emu manual;
it is very useful and you can't argue with the price :-)
