2797.0. "Book recommendation" by PIANST::JANZEN (Thomas MLO21-4/E10 223-5140) Fri Dec 20 1991 10:30

	Hello.  There is a firmware engineer here who would like to make a
	new ws play a little tune (I pointed out to her, public domain).
	You and I learned about synthesis from hundreds of articles and
	dozens of books.  Is there today one book that will carry an
	engineer in text book form from R-2R ladders to data rates to
	delta compression to Nyqvist to waveform synthesis to musical
	sounds to musical scales to convolution reverb algorithms?

	Re -1: Thanks for the correction on the author's name- what with the publishing company, the paint manufacturer, and all that, I guess "the Moore's the merrier..." (gad, that's terrible!) Bob
