How to make a noise: Free Book

http://www.noisesculpture.com/

"How to make a noise" is the most comprehensive guide to synthesiser programming techniques and covers:

* subtractive synthesis
* FM
* additive synthesis
* wave sequencing, and
* sample based synthesis.

To illustrate the points raised, over 200 patches are available to accompany the book. The patches (together with a higher resolution version of the book, see below ) are available for $10. You don't need the patches to read the book, but it will help and will save you a lot of programming drudge.

There are two versions of the book available - the free download, and another version (which is available with the patches) that has higher resolution/less compressed graphics making it suitable for printing. The book is 116 pages/80,000 words long so you may find it preferable to print it.

If you go to www.noisesculpture.com and click on the "get the book" button, you can fill in the form at the bottom of that page to get the book for free. Alternatively, click on the link on the same page to buy the patches (and get the higher resolution book thrown in for free). If you want to avoid the website and purchase the patches immediately, follow this link: http://payloadz.com/go/sip?id˜585

I always learned by being hands on. Check out the parameters of the sounds you like.....and rebuild them piece by piece. Play with the setting to get a feel for what they do. Fl's help contents expain the aspects of all of the generators and effects in good detail. Read about one at a time and spend some hands on time with it. Layer, reverse, add reverb, add delay, etc. Hope that helps a bit. ~PEACE~
