Synthesis Resources

[Mattias Westlund]

Here's a bunch of old Sound on Sound articles I found in my bookmarks. There is probably a lot of other useful stuff in the Synth Secrets series but sadly it appears the articles can't be indexed from the SoS site anymore, so it'll take some googling to track them all down.

• Practical Flute Synthesis
  
  
• Practical Bowed-string Synthesis
  
  
• Synthesizing Bowed Strings: The Violin Family
  
  
• Synthesizing Strings: String Machines
  
  
• Synthesizing Strings: PWM & String Sounds
  

A short thing I wrote up a few years ago, not very theoretical but it has sound examples and presets.

• Synthezised cinematic percussion à la Zimmer
  

Let me know if you have additional stuff that might fit the bill!
