Digital Synthesis Library

My God... This is a whole list of online resources on all sorts of Digital Synthesis topics hosted by Stanford.

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pubs.html

A sampling of titles: Digital Waveguide Modeling and Signal Processing, Introduction to Digital Filters, Physical Modeling Synthesis Update, and Viewpoints on the History of Digital Synthesis.

:o Awesome find.

This is hours of my time completely vaporized.

As a note, in order to build -some- understanding from their readings, the reader should build on a basis of fundamental knowledge in acoustics and mathematics, otherwise would get lost immediately, since most of the topics are rather specific and hardcore technical to the point that composers, sound designers and studio engineers would hardly need any of this, unless they want to be researchers or DSP implementers. So, before jumping into this, make sure you know about acoustics fundamentals, calculus, trigonometry, complex numbers, Fourier series and transform, sampling and aliasing, etc.
