One idea I've been tossing around for some time is to try to write some sort of guidebook on modular synthesis. I have a friend who is a published author who has been giving me tips on the mechanics of getting a book published. I'd like to do something of a collaborative nature with sections devoted to the operations of individual modules as well as a large section based on creative patching. Ideally I would like to include a CD with a large variety of samples as well. The major problem I see with doing this is the limitations of my own knowledge and experience. Although I'm very well versed in the physics, math and electronics of synthesis, most of my musical experience has been in styles other than electronic music. I'm classically trained as a musician and consider myself a prog rocker. I have a somewhat rigid outlook when it comes to creating sounds. I would like to have a section on patches that just morph and mutate on their own for instance, but this is largely outside of my experience. I would like to hear from some of the other listmembers about what they think about this and whether they would be willing to contribute patches and sound samples. I'm willing to share credit and royalties (if there are any.) I am familiar with most of the books available and have found most of them to be either lacking in general or devoted to specific synths. I think it can be done better.
