Hosken (music, California State U., Northridge) follows up an earlier book An Introduction to Music Technology with this text, and the two books can be used together or independently. Here he
provides explanation of synthesis and sampling techniques and guidance about how to use them effectively and creatively. The information is purposefully prepared so as to not be limited to any
specific software. A companion website includes audio examples, interactive software, guides to various software synthesizers and samplers, and links to resources. Annotation 穢2011 Book News,
