Sampling and Soft Synth Power!

This book is a good introduction to the inner workings of many soft samplers and synths. There's enough details to get you beyond just running the presets of many instruments. The book spends a lot of time covering sampler library construction, in a variety of formats. As opposed to the previous reviewer, most of us who are involved in electronic music will want to learn how to do this feat. There's a good-sized chapter on Kontakt, and a few chapters on other synths - including a way-too-short chapter on the Moog Modular.
