Hey folks, i`m not sure if you received the e-mail but Simon Cann has released three new ebooks.

new book #1 How to Make a Noise: Analog Synthesis starts from the basic principle of taking a sound source and shaping it with a filter. This simple but powerful technique can be applied to any hardware or software synthesizer to create the warm, rich, energetic, and commanding sounds that are often associated with classic hardware synthesizers.

new book #2 How to Make a Noise: Frequency Modulation Synthesis looks at frequency modulation (or FM) synthesis which works through a continuous and controllable interaction of two or more waves to give a broad spectrum of detailed, highly nuanced, bright, rich, shimmering, clean, metallic, and solid tones that can be used to create many musical (and non-musical) sounds.

new book #3 How to Make a Noise: Sample-Based Synthesis looks at how to sample, create, and control sounds—from high fidelity realistic recreations of real instrument in their original environment, through creative warped tones, to drums and loops—and the tools and techniques that are available to help.

Unlike How to Make a Noise: a Comprehensive Guide to Synthesizer Programming (the free PDF and paperback book), these new books are not synthesizer-specific. Instead they focus on specific techniques and you can use them with whichever synthesizers you have to hand.
The books are available exclusively in electronic format and have been optimized for book readers such as the Kindle, Kindle Fire, iPad, nook, nook color, Reader, and smartphones (such as the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry). They make extensive use of (color) graphics designed for this form of reading device and the internal links make it a breeze to find the detail you are looking for.
