Allen Strange, Electronic Music Systems, Techni-
ques and Controls, 2nd edition, Wm. C. Brown Co.
Publishers, Iowa, USA. ISBN 0-697-03602-2*
This book by Allen Strange is very comprehensive and
thoroughly recommended, because as well as all of
the basics it also includes a huge number of patches
and practical tips. It’s easy to read, instructive and
very well organised. If your bookstore has trouble
ordering a copy, then try the publishers. In Europe, try
McGraw-Hill Publishing, tel [phone]; or
Susurreal, tel [phone]), who had copies at
£25 including postage in late 1996.
