    Preface
    In the May 1977 issue of Elektor there appeared the first of a series of articles
    devoted to the Formant a sophisticated music synthesiser whose performance
    was on a par with that of many commercial models but which was designed
    for home construction and could be built for a fraction of their cost. It quickly
    became apparent that there was tremendous interest in the project. Many
    readers have since completed construction of the Formant, and their
    experiences have been entirely positive. The basic modular design concept,
    which allows the constructor to build as many (or as few~ modules as his
    budget permits, has proven extremely successful, and despite their
    complexity, an almost 100% reproducibility in the performance of the circuits
    has been achieved.
    In view of the continued popularity of the project, we have decided to gather
    together and reproduce the original articles describing the design and
    construction of the Formant. At the same time, we have taken this
    opportunity to explore the musical capabilities of the Formant in somewhat
    greater detail than was originally permitted. A synthesiser can be a difficult
    instrument for the beginner to master. For this reason Part 2 of the book
    consists of an introduction to the techniques of actually playing the Formant.
    The characteristics of each module are discussed, and basic control settings
    for the simulation of specific instruments are described.
    A novel feature of the book is that it is accompanied by a demonstration
    cassette, which allows the FQrmant enthusiast to hear for himself what the
    results of certain control settings should sound like and which provides some
    idea of the enormous musical scope of the instrument.
    The availability of printed circuit boards and front panels for each of the
    modules makesthe Formant atrue home construction project and ensures that
    the enthusiast will have a finished instrument whose appearance he can be
    proud of.
