Hey all,

Here's a great online book from the University of Dartmouth in the UK. It covers the basics of digital synthesis and sampling in easy to understand terms. Some of the best parts are its explanation of how filters work, Formant synthesis and Granular synthesis. But covers everything you'd expect. Chapter four, computer-based synthesis, is the most interesting for me.

It's an html online book, not downloaded - the reason being is it's full of audio examples, animations and Java JSyn applets. Worth bookmarking and doing a chapter a day - it's actually pretty cool 

it also demystifies the infamous Shepard tones, explains exactly how they work, again with audio examples.

Frigging Bravo! Both to the Uni of Dartmouth and to RB for planting it on our lap.  :clap:

What a great resource. Bookmarked.

I'm up for a bit of phase-vocoding and convolution revision, myself and the spatialisation section might help me to better understand that Soundhack plug I've been ignoring. Nice one & thanks.
