MOTM

I highly recommend reviewing the last few years of Sound On Sound's "Synthesis Secrets" articles.  They are available free from their website (http://www.sospubs.co.uk/index.htm), except the most recent 3 or 4 issues.  LOTS of good information on creating particular sounds on basic synths (easily extended to modular synths).  True, it's mostly concentrated on recreating traditional instruments (drums, strings, etc.), but great analysis.

That's a good idea. Most books on audio synthesis start at "what's a  
synthesizer" or are thinly veiled manual's for some manufacturers  
synth. I was fantasizing this afternoon about a book where each chapter  
was a sound (for example: doppler train effect, explosion, flute) and  
the chapter broke down the start to finish construction of a patch. it  
would come with an audio CD that would have a bunch of tracks on it,  
one could pop the CD in a player and when prompted in the book hit play  
for "fig 3: noise", etc.
