I got a copy of the ARP 2600 owner's manual from Jim Michmerhuizen
(
jamzen@...), who wrote it. Cost $25, and is a great overview
of synthesis technique.
I also have a Hal Leonard book (GPI Publishing Co) called Synthesizer
Technique, published 1987, that has a lot of Keyboard Magazine articles
on synthesis from the 70s and 80s. Articles written by Bob Moog, Roger
Powell, Patrick Gleeson, Craig Anderton, etc. About $15.
Can't help with the EE part.
