I'm looking for a recommendation for an introductory article or book on FM synthesis. I know almost nothing about it, but have been playing with a friends synthesizer and would like to learn more about the theory and practice. I'm not scared by math and know some physics/acoustics. Know any good books? Or would someone like to attempt the explanation themselves? thanks!

I've been impressed by "FM Theory and Applications" by John Chowning and David Bristow. Chowning is the creator of FM synthesis and this book does a good job of explaining the basics. I think its available from MIX Bookshelf (800)233-9604. And yes, it does get into some of the math, so good thing you're not scared ;-) Karl B.

We are working to develop an audio board based on the DSP56001 processor. We underspped about their proprietary algorithms, but we were curiousif anyone knew of any public domain or low-cost DSP algorithms available justifiably tight-lipped about their proprietary algorithms, but we were wondering if anyone knew of any public domain or low-cost DSP algorithms available from universities or other sources. I have already contacted the CARL program at UCSD, and hope to contact CCRMA and the MIT Media Lab. Any other suggestions are most welcome. As yet I do not have email capability, so please reply in a Don Kennedy Vision Quest DSP Development 2925 Sunny Lane Fayetteville, AR 72703 (501) 521-0420
