Hi Community!
I am going to write some scientific work about the "mechanics" and functionality of analog (=in terms of hardware) synthesizers compared to digital pendants.
I am not really struggling finding the information I need. I basically have one problem:
Getting solid, reasonably scientific literature in German and english about synthesis of electronic music.
I do not have problems with the understanding of more complex mathematical/ physical topics, so feel free to include everything you want.
To specify my needs, I am searching for both "basics", which cover most of my topic, and in- depth literature.
I would appreciate (especially for the digital part) literature, which is not too old.
Has anybody some tips??
Professional Literature about "mechanics" of analog and digital synthesizers

Thanks for the tip, indeed really good articles. However that´s not exactly what I am searching for. As far as I see, Urs talks about developing digital emulations of analog synths, (not a suprise for U-HE), but I want to have literature about how synthsizers work in general. But thanks for the fast replyV0RT3X wrote: Mon Oct 01, 2018 11:15 pm https://urs.silvrback.com (https://urs.silvrback.com)
Lots of good articles from Urs Heckmann who runs U-he software

Some books I think you may find helpful:
Analog Days - The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer, by Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco;
Electric Sound - The Past and Promise of Electronic Music, by Joel Chadabe.
Vintage Synthesizers, by Mark Vail

In-depth?

Michael Hettrick (of Unfiltered Audio) wrote an interesting PhD thesis about modular synthesisers. It doesn't really go into implementation details, but serves as a great overview of the different building blocks using in modular systems and the purposes they might serve.
