New Book on Modular Synthesis Available Online

[mosc]

James J. Clark of McGill University in Canada has just made available and outstanding new book on Modular Synthesis called Advanced Programming Techniques for Modular Synthesizers. I have looked it over and it is fantastic.

This is a great resource if you are just beginning to patch your own instruments, or if you are a seasoned veteran. The chapters are well written and the explanations are clear. All of the examples are screen shots from the Nord Modular editor, and the patches are available online as well. You can't beat this.

Here is a copy of an email he sent out announcing this release.

Subject: Nord Modular web book completed

Hello everyone,

I have finally (after 4 years!) completed my on-line Nord Modular web-book. You can access it at
http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nm_book_toc.html

For those of you who want a pdf version, I made one which you can get from
http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nordmodularbook.pdf

As the title suggests it is focused on the Nord Modular, but modular synthesists of all stripes might find it useful.

The patches are in the file www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nm_book_patches.zip
The images are in www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nm_book_images.zip
and the html files are in www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodularbook/nm_book_html.zip

We commend James Clark for a job well done and recommend anyone interested in electronic music take a look at it. You'll learn something new almost immediately. Thanks, Jim.
