"Hello everyone

Three things...two about free stuff.

How to Make a Noise patches

The patches accompanying the free download of How to Make a Noise: a comprehensive guide to synthesizer programming (and also the paperback book) are now available to download for free (previously they cost $10).

If you haven't already got them, you can get the patches: here (follow the link, then hit file >> download and you'll get the zip file). This isn't the long-term link (you'll note my website still needs updating), but I wanted to make the patches available to you at the earliest opportunity if you don't already have a copy of the patches.

You can stop here, but if you're interested in getting some of my other books for free, then please keep reading.

The Murder of Henry VIII The Murder of Henry VIII
I have published a new book today: The Murder of Henry VIII, the first book in the Boniface series.

This is a piece of fiction--there are no synthesizers here. You can read more about it at: simoncann.com/henry


Get my other books for free

I'm keen to offer a small thank you to anyone who buys a copy of The Murder of Henry VIII or who can help generate sales. To this end I would like to offer a free book to anyone who buys The Murder of Henry VIII or who can persuade someone else to buy a copy (in paperback or electronic format).

If you're interested in getting one or more of my other books for free, then head over to my Noise Sculpture website: noisesculpture.com/get-free-books


All the best"

"This book looks at programming using examples from six software synthesizers: Cameleon 5000 from Camel Audio (link is external), Rhino 2 from BigTick (link is external), Surge from Vember Audio (link is external), Vanguard from reFX (link is external), Wusikstation from Wusik dot com (link is external), and Z3TA+ from Cakewalk (link is external). Over 300 sound patches are created in the book: click here for further details of the patches."

Thanks arkmabat for putting out the word so quickly. I'm sorry that it has taken me a while to catch up.

For anyone who was wondering, I can confirm that this link is legitimate. However, please be aware that the link is not the long-term location of the files (in other words, this link may cease to work at some point--the patches will always be free, but just in a different long-term location on my website). If you're on my mailing list (http://noisesculpture.com/keep-up-to-date), you'll hear about the new location first.

May I mention two other things.

First I have just published a new book: The Murder of Henry VIII, the first book in the Boniface series. This is a piece of fiction—there are no synthesizers here. You can read more about it at: http://simoncann.com/henry

And as a secondary issue, I’m keen to offer a small thank you to anyone who buys a copy of The Murder of Henry VIII or who can help generate sales. To this end I would like to offer a free book to anyone who buys The Murder of Henry VIII or who can persuade someone else to buy a copy.

So if you want one (or two, or three) of my books for free, please tell your family, friends, and your social media contacts. For details of how to get the free books, head over to the Noise Sculpture website: http://noisesculpture.com/get-free-books

Thanks for your time, and enjoy the patches.

It’s ten years since I wrote How to Make a Noise: a comprehensive guide to synthesizer programming. It’s time to make a few changes:
  • The book can be downloaded directly from the Noise Sculpture website (there is no need for an email address or to wait for the download link to be sent). The patches (which are now free) are included as part of the download package with the book.
  • Permission is granted (under specific conditions) for readers to redistribute the book and patches package. Readers may (for example): email the book and patches, share the book and patches on a torrent, or make the book and patches available for download on a website.
The book and patches are available from: http://noisesculpture.com/comprehensive.

And please note: the previous temporary download link for the patches mentioned by arkmabat no longer works (since the book and patches have been combined into a single freely available package).

While I’m here…I’ve still got a few free books left to give away. So if you’re interested in getting one of my other books for free (paper and electronic books), then head over to: http://noisesculpture.com/get-free-books for details.

All the best

Simon

Great! Thanks for the info. In retrospect, I probably should have asked before posting the above. My apologies for that. :oops:

I have another book in Simons how to make a noise series entittled frequency modulation synthesis( not free ) but good value for money.
Music is the language of the soul.

The best music comes from the heart of the performer or composer.
