I had heard about a book (rather old) called electronic projects for musicians. What I want to know is -- what kind of circuits are used to generate both studio and stage guitar/synth add-on effects. In other words, what is Overdrive? How do they define distortion? Is it clipping? If there is a book that has an up-to-date description of the inner workings of modern audio effects, please let me know. Thanks Gary (hplabs,allegra,ios,fortune)oliveb!olivee!gnome

I believe that such a book has been written by Craig Anderton who writes a column for Guitar Player magazine. You might try calling them at (408) 446-1105 to see if they can help locate the book. Steve Falco AT&T Bell Laboratories, Whippany NJ

re: Craig Anderton's book:
Electronic Projects for Musicians
was published by Guitar Player Books, and you can probably still order it
from the magazine.
Another that wasn't mentioned is:
Electronotes
published by Bernie Hutchins
203 Snyder Hill Road
Ithaca NY 14850
This is a newsletter format publication that deals with electronic music,
both in theory and in application. Circuits are presented in building block
form, rather than complete projects. On the other hand, the concepts
presented are more complex (and useful?). A real gold mine.
The address listed is old (1976) so it may be worth trying to call first. At
last count, Bernie Hutchins still lived in Ithaca. He is an AES member if
you have access to their directory.
