This is a bibliography on synthesizers, midi, computer and electronic music
that I have collected from various sources. I have tried to bring some
structure into it, but not all books will fit into a single subject.
NOTE: I haven't read these books, and the comments are from other people.
On some of them I lost the original commentor's name. Sorry about that. If
you have additions or correction to this information, please mail me. The
latest version of this file can be obtained by ftp from ftp.cs.ruu.nl
[131.211.80.17] in MIDI/DOC/bibliography or by mail from
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (send a message with HELP in the body).
There is a more scientifically-oriented bibliography available in the
Computer Music Journal archives, on the ftp sites mitpress.mit.edu
/pub/Computer-Music-Journal/EdNotes or ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu
/pub/Publications/cmj/EdNotes. Some references in this file that belong in
that category will be removed in the future.
A bibliography on alternate tunings can be found on ella.mills.edu in
/ccm/tuning/papers/bib.html.

*** This book is now out of print ***
New, advanced MIDI desk reference is perfect for programmers and MIDI power
users. The heart of the book is a summary and explanation of every MIDI
command, in hex, binary, decimal and English. Also features detailed
discussion of software design concerns, synchronization formats, MTC,
sample dump, MIDI files and system exclusive processing.
It discusses writing software to handle MIDI information at the application
level. In other words, they assume you have already written or otherwise
obtained access to the necessary code to talk to your hardware to send and
receive the MIDI data. This approach frees the entire discussion from
being tied to any particular hardware or programming approach. Instead, it
spends its time on that which is valuable to the experienced programmer.
Issues such as MIDI file format, timing (SMPTE, MTC, etc), parsing MIDI
data and processing it, MIDI sample dump standard, etc. are all handled in
fine detail.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MIDI IMPLEMENTATION BOOK, Defuria & Scacciaferro

features of similar instruments and choose equipment to meet specific
applications. A standard, one-page implementation chart is used for each
product. ISBN ISBN 0-88188-558-4, 1986, 216 pp. $19.95

it, and its terribly out-dated (1986), but they might have published
another addition by now.

Microsoft Press put out a book on midi programming. I
think that this is rather a weak book, but it might serve
as an introduction for non-computer folk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several other books are out that were written by musicians.
They are interesting as a intro to using midi, but contain
a dearth of info from my perspective. As a programmer, I
have the wrong perspective to sort these out.

I have seen two editions: mine from the early 80's, and a hardback
that my friend has from the late 80's. His has 68000 assember
for an FFT routine.
This covers analog and digital sound synthesis from an experimenter's
perspective, not much math, lots of algorithms and circuits. If you want
to solder and program in your garage and make lots of weird sounds, this is
the bible. Lots of BASIC programs, but they're very short, just to
demonstrate algorithms. It's a few years old now and the electronic
devices used in the book are dated, but the explanations and principles are
still valid. It discusses things such as real time synthesis, play back of
stored soundwaves, sampling, running multiple D-As in parallel, software
for computing soundwaves (it even covers Fast Fourier Transforms) and more.

This book is very good: "A synthesist's Guide to Acoustic Instruments"
Amsco Publications,New York, 1987
author: H.Massey
I found the Howard Massey "Synthesists Guide to Acoustic Instruments"
to be a pretty good book for general synthesizer knowledge, mostly
because it doesn't try to explain the specifics of a synth.

Moorer, James A. and Grey, John: "Lexicon of Analyzed Tones";
Computer Music Journal, volume 1 Number 2, volume 1 number 3,
volume 2 number 2, volume 2 number 3, and continuing
The first installment of the lexicon was an analysis of a violin tone.
The second analyzed Clarinet and Oboe tones, and the third presented an
analysis of a trumpet tone.
These analyses included spectral plots (time versus amplitude for the first
21 partials), spectrographic plots (frequency versus amplitude), and amplitude
and frequency versus time plots for the first sixteen partials. Additional
information is given about formants of the instruments and the analysis
and resynthesis methods which the authors used (The analysis was done with
a Heterodyne Filter algorithm). While the authors claim that the tones
were resynthesized and were nearly indistinguishable from the originals, they
ARE only single, specific notes played on a specific example of the original
instrument, so, while they would be a good starting point for re-synthesis of
an instrument, they are by no means sufficient.
