Constructive Synthesis Book

We have a lot of Teensy enthusiasts, especially in areas like audio synthesis, some with such passion and knowledge, you might say they could write a book on it. In the case of Ken Wessen, this is literally the case, in the form of the web-based book Constructive Synthesis.

In addition to comprehensive coverage of subtractive synthesis topics, the site also includes over 30 web apps that allow the reader to experience concepts first hand, as well as ten projects for the Teensy 4.0 + Audio Adaptor Board. The projects culminate in the creation of Mentor, a 16-voice polyphonic Teensy-based synth, optimized for learning subtractive synthesis and patch creation. Start learning how to make your own Teensy-based synth today, and be sure to let Ken know if you have feedback or suggestions!
