Sadly, there are ZERO in-print books on this!

The best book I've see is called "The Complete Guide to Synthesizers" by
Devarahi. Prentice-Hall
ISBN #0-13-160630-1.

This is a RARE book (I paid $90 for my copy!!!?!) but is really really good.

Also, the ARP2600 and ARP2500 Owner's Manuals are pretty good, too.
