Mer om författaren

Ray has been interested in analog synthesizers since the first time he heard "Switched On Bach" back in 1968. That magic box on the cover of the album with all of the knobs, switches and patch cords grabbed his attention and never let it go. After working at U.S. Steel, Intec Systems, Siemens Pacesetter, and Telectronics, he now runs his popular web site Music From Outer Space full-time. Most of his electronics learning has been hard won and experiential with hundreds of hours devoted to reading, bread-boarding, experimenting and appreciating analog synthesis.

Betyg & recensioner

4.7/5

4/5
Bra bok om analoga synthar och DIY
Den ger en bra introduktion till dom analoga syntharnas DIY värld. Kan dock tänka mig att den är något obalanserad för den totala nybörjaren. Den är pedagogiskt skriven, men dess beskrivningar en bit in i boken förutsätter att man har lite förkunskap, t.ex att kunna läsa kopplingsscheman. För den erfarne DIY fantasten saknar boken djup och har lite matnyttig information. Dock fann jag kapitlet om CMOS chippen i slutet väldigt trevligt, önskade bara att det hade varit en större del med fler exempel. Överlag tycker jag ändå att boken är prisvärd och trevlig läsning. Rekommenderas! Kan även rekommenderas Nicolas Collin's "The Art of Hardware Hacking" som är väldigt bra.
