In the book, I am currently going through these lists of procedures. You are told which modules you need, which modules you have to connect, what controls you will be using, and a description of what you’re doing. It does get somewhat repetitive, in that some of the procedures are fairly similar. I think these lists are better “doing” material than “reading” material. I think they were written as “how-tos,” in which you read the list while actually doing these things. These lists will probably come in handy later if I actually want to use any of these modules.
I know the book moves out of lists later on, so I won’t abandon it. I’m just going to keep going – I want to know how to do these things.
Josh,
ReplyDeleteIn your writing, I hear that you have two interests in this book. One, which you wrote about in your last post, is the philosophical ideas of music and the intersection of these thoughts and the principles of electronics. The second, which you write more about here, is the technical know-how, the skills needed to create electronic music. What sort of ideas does reading this book spark? You wrote that this information would come in handy if you actually want to use any of these modules. Are you making any plans to use the modules or to do, rather than read?
