How to Make a Noise: Free Download

The free edition of How to Make a Noise was first released in early 2005. Since then the book has been completely revised and updated, and is available in hard copy format from leading book retailers such as Amazon (see the links at the foot of the page).

When compared with this free version, in the printed version you will find:

• more content (including an additional chapter, four refills, and coverage of another synthesizer)
• more graphics (and in addition, all of the existing graphics in the free edition have been completely redrawn in the printed version), and
• more sounds (over 300 patches are featured in the updated book).

If you want to have a look at the table of contents and a sample chapter to see what is covered by the printed edition and how it now looks (it does look very different from this free version, and is produced to a much higher quality), then click here.

This free version has not been updated (although refills will be available which are mentioned below).
