Further Reading, Additive Synthesis

For more about the history of additive synthesis, see the chapter on ``Sampling and Additive Synthesis'' in [222]. For ``hands-on'' introductions to additive synthesis (with examples in software), see [205] (pd), [59] (Csound [19]), or [173] (cmusic). A discussion of the phase vocoder in conjunction with additive synthesis begins in §H.10.
