I have a physics project to do and I wanted
to do it on analog synths. Anyone know any sites
with in depth info on how they work? The best I've found yet is wikipedia. Can anyone help?

Hah... actually, forget all the physics stuff. Just bring to class one of those old-school, modular patch-cable synths, and show the class you can actually program something 'listenable' into it...

I know I'd give ya a passing grade if you could do that! :wink:

How synthesizers work...www.sospubs.co.uk. Search for "synth secrets". (don't forget to turn the pages and take a look at the first 15 synth secrets:)
www.vintagesynth.com for global info on diff. types of synths.
Look in your local library/bookstore for "sound synthesis and sampling" by Martin Russ.

Then this is passed through a filter which cuts off some parts of the signal, the whole thing then goes through a Amp, and out as a sound wave.
How do they "make" it aye? And the LFO isn't nessesary. :wink:

I did a fun presentation on bob moog once and how he inspired both music and technology.
