MSE / Horowitz and Hill
I see it's been a few months since you posted this, but if you are still looking I suggest buying the pdfs on Magic Smoke Electronics. While you're at it, get the Electronic Drum Cookbook! Circuits in both of these books are easy enough to make and experiment with a solderless breadboard, even if you are just beginning.Memory_Leak wrote:@ craque
Cheers for the tips on those books....grab them all from eBay...over the last month 8_)
Looking for a copy of VCO Chip Cookbook by Thomas Henry any ideas ?
Also, Horowitz and Hill's "The Art of Electronics" is a great read and resource. The third edition of the book "might be coming out in late 2013".. happy soldering!

getting started was fun with http://www.fluxmonkey.com/electronoize/ and http://milkcrate.com.au/_other/sea-moss/
i found the opamp section of http://www.play-hookey.com/analog/ very useful for beginners, and http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hb ... on.html#c1 too.

Analog Devices has some really amazing stuff freely available on their website. You can also buy expensive paper copies if you'd like.

Lots of useful soldering info in this thread.

Very handy, thank you!

So I was looking at the schematic for various clones of the Buchla 292 LPG, and I could not wrap my head around what it actually does. After a google search I found this paper on creating a digital model of it, and they included a very illuminating analysis. Graphs and everything

I'm sure many are aware of Ray Wilson, but I would like to bring up his book, Make: Analog Synthesizers.
This book helped me get a basic grasp of what analog synthesizers are.
A lot of his circuits make some pretty nice sounds/filtering, and they aren't too complex.
I think this book is pretty good for beginners.
Also, of course, his website, Music From Outer Space is awesome
