About this manual
It is beyond the scope of this manual to fully explain every concept of synthesis in detail.
A lot of background information is given in order for you to fully understand DCAM: Synth Squad’s features, but some prior
knowledge of synthesis and audio processing/mixing functions is assumed.
Suggested further reading
The Sound On Sound magazine articles database includes an excellent resource of synthesis information, particularly
the comprehensive ‘Synth Secrets’ series. There are also articles on mixing, effects processing and other relevant topics
when using DCAM: Synth Squad:
http://www.soundonsound.com/articles/Technique.php
There is also an excellent book about synthesis available for free viewing on the web (or as a downloadable PDF file),
called ‘Advanced Programming Techniques for Modular Synthesizers’ by James J. Clark. It is written for the Nord Modular
DSP synthesis environment, but its information is relevant for all kinds of synthesis, no matter what equipment you’re
using:
