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.
