Learning about sound waves/envelopes

Have a read of the Synth Secret series on the Sound on Sound website http://www.soundonsound.com/search?page=3&Section=8&Subject=12

Fred Welsh's Synthesizer cookbook provides a good explanation of how starting from basic waveforms you can synthesize a wide variety of sounds. It includes information on how to emulate acoustic instruments with graphical illustrations of their audio spectrum (harmonics) and envelopes. The book includes a great many examples or recipes for creating patches from basic waveforms such as sinewaves, squarewaves /pulses and sawtooths, modulating using an LFO, and adjusting lowpass filter and amplitude envelopes. The book even includes a CD with analogue modelled synth VSTi plugin.

Thanks, you both rock! Awesome, I'm going to order the book and have book marked the link as well.

I greatly appreciate the input!

When you are ready to do some really neat things with your Juno-G, take a look at Art's tweakbook located here:

If I don't put this in here, we know Art will! I'll just save him a little time so he can wrap up his work on Tweakbook 5
