Can any one else claim differently?

I’ve been looking for about 10 minutes and I don’t seem to be able to locate it….

He makes you think at a new level, starting as a synth bro and winding up as the professor. Even aspects of it that go over your head at first will still percolate in the background. I’ve had several great AHA! moments from reading his Keyboard columns. This is one of the 5 or 6 actual dead-tree books you need to have a near-comprehensive spread of applicable synth info. Its great fun to follow the new developments, but having a solid footing in the basics and a few not-so-basics is part of why you can tackle them at all. Its also a superior bathroom-library book. Get it.

So sad.

To access the web page, I think you need to buy a copy of the book, but unless they do something tricky, the PDF, once your friend grabs a copy, will be freely distributable. I’m adding some sound design tips (which a British music magazine noted were in somewhat short supply in the printed edition) and covering more recent developments, such as 3D waveforms.
