Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook Vol.1 by Fred Welsh PDF screenshot
PDF | AudioZ Exclusive | 39.16 MB
Universal patch book
Sound analysis/reverse engineering
Synthesizer programming basics


Section I: In-depth explanations of synthesizer components
Intended to be an improvement on the approach taken by other books and online sources. Goes deeper while remaining comprehensible even to beginners

In-depth explanations of oscillators, filters, envelopes, and LFOs using harmonic and waveform analysis to explain the operation of each parameter

Many figures and graphs to explain exactly what's going on

Section II: Synthesis Through Harmonic Analysis and Reverse Engineering of Sound

For many users this is likely to be the most valuable section of the book

Through the use of examples shows how to use freely available harmonic analysis software to analyze and synthesize acoustic instruments, patches from other synths, and even reverse engineer sounds from previously recorded songs and samples.

This isn't just looking at waveforms in a sound editor. This is looking at and replicating individual harmonics. Synthesize specific instruments.

Want to know what settings an artist used to produce that deep bass sound? No problem. The author has even used this technique to synthesize his own voice! Harmonic analysis can produce results this specific even on analog synthesizers.

Reduces time and guess-work and produces MUCH better results than programming by ear alone

Section III: The original set of patches for ALL dual-oscillator synthesizers

View the list of available patches

102 universal patches for ALL dual-oscillator synths

65 of these patches are based on the harmonic and waveform analysis of acoustic instruments

37 of the patches are classic synth sounds: leads, basses, pads, and sound effects

Calibration section describing how to use included audio samples to calibrate a synthesizer's components for higher accuracy

Amazing resource... Yes it's old, yes it's still 100% relevant. Used this is college as an undergrad. Lost a lot of old textbooks moving over the years so, thank you for this.

Priceless to have, and priceless to share to the people I've helped and am helping along the way...

Cheers mate!
