Programming & Sampling - K2500

[John]

I'm just starting to play around with sampling & programing.

I don't know a whole lot about the subject, but I'm going to guess that the basic principals are the same regardless of what keyboard your using?

I'm looking for a good book that will help me understand how to get good efficent samples (what sample rate?, how long?, etc.)?

Also I'm looking for something that will help me understand how to create sounds from scratch. Maybe instead of sampling that clarinet sound, I should program it starting from internal samples. I'm going to guess that there is a good book somewhere that would not only help me to understand the physics of sound, but also maybe have some "receipes" for common sounds.

If there's one book that would cover these areas that would be great.

Suggestions/Recomendations?

First post, John :D

I was looking for a book recomendation to sound physics. What that has to do with gear forum is beyond me. :? If you read the entire post carefully (and not just the subject line) you'll notice that I'm interested in the physics of sound. I put the K2500 in my subject line so that if someone happened to know of a book about basic sound physics (engineering) that also used the K2500 (or another similar product) for examples, that they could recomend that one to me.

Anyway, I'm looking for a recomendation to a book that can help me with my programing. I'll guess that the book will have a lot to do with sound physics/engineeering, and not too much to do with any particular peice of equipment.

Recomendations?

Maybe a more appropriate subject line would have been:

Sound Physics / Engineering

Go to your local Guitar Center or equivalent. They usually stock books upon books of this kind of subject matter. Many resources available on the web too.

I live in a small town. The music store here would probably refer me to the computer store as soon as they heard the word "programming". Next time I'm in the book store I'm going to see if I can find something. Also I'm looking at stuff on the net. I'm not in any hury. My time for music is limited and I'm having a good time playing around with samples and programming on my own. But a good book would probably make my time more efficent.

Here's one I really enjoyed- http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0240514297/026-6907268-0172420

Thanks Darkon.

That book looks perfect! :D
