MOTM

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.
