Principles and Practice of Electronic Music (1973)

My copy came with a flexidisc. That guy's voice is priceless. Good sample material.

I have the great advantage of working with a guy who was really into electronic music in the seventies. He was a teacher, and used to teach his high school band electronic music techniques. He let's me borrow his synths whenever I want (mostly electrocomps) and he gave me my first reel-to-reel. Anyw...

If you can track this book down, it's totally worth it... http://www.kingquasar.com/images/cover.jpg Electronmusic by Robert A. Devoe It was published by Electronic Music Labes, Inc. the same people who made the Electrocomp Synths. 176 handwritten (and illustrated) pages that have a WEALTH of info r...

.560pF capacitor across the input and output lugs yeilded some great results when we were ironing out the wiring for the Lakland hollowbodies.

This might be completely off the subject of time signatures, but if anyone is interested in a very good survey of 20th century avant music, these two links are a great place to start... http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/5824 http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/5966 They were intended to be the aud...

For example, a "quarter" note is defined as "two eighth notes", rather than "one fourth of a whole". Think about 12/8 or 7/4 time to see how this gets confusing. The first note value I learned was a whole note, not an eighth. So it seems that conventional music ed. does start with the whole and mov...

I have a block of wood shoved behind the tremelo on my strat. I don't think this is a very uncommon thing. A lot of people don't like to use those tremelos and just shove something there to disengage it. I just sold a MIJ jazz bass neck that I know for a fact is original and it had the exact same st...

I may be stating the obvious, but have you looked in your M-audio Delta control panel (the software mixer) and made sure that all the ins and outs are where you want them to be? ... and nothing is muted?

I've been wanting to play around with some multiband distortion on my guitar. Unfortunately I don't have any good distortion plugins or enough filters and distortion pedals to do it outside the box. I would like to try and filter out each string from my guitar and distort each separately. I'm not s...

What kind of tools do you have? At the very least you'll need a band saw, a router, chisles, drill, etc. Building the body is the easy part. The neck is very, very tricky for a novice. Lots of minute details to consider. Those strings like to pull on the wood in very strange ways. I would recommend ...

Whoops.
I just reread the original post and my reply. Apparently I'm in some alternate universe where "neck" means "bridge" and "bridge" means "neck". It's too late for me to think. So, yeah, it sounds like it's wired wrong. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Before you go messing with the wiring, put the switch in the middle position, take a screwdriver and tap the pole pieces on each of the pickups (with the guitar plugged into an amp). It should be obvious if both of the pickups are working. If you don't hear a "thud" from the neck pickup, it's wired ...

The Farfisa lick in 96 tears by ? and the Mysterians. That's classic.

My vote's for Jackpot. Seems appropriate.
