Book upload: "A Guide to Computer Music" For Apple II, GS, Macintosh and more

[skate323k137]

I recently was able to track down a 2nd copy of this rare/out of print book, covering in great length use of MIDI equipment and software with Apple, Macintosh, and other computers (the 1st edition was almost entirely apple/mac focused, this is the revised edition).

I could not find a copy scanned anywhere, so I sent off the 2nd copy of the revised edition that I was able to find for scanning. For those who have done it before, for the cleanest/straightest scans with proper OCR (this PDF is OCR'd) you have to allow "destructive scanning."

So, while I'm super happy to still have my own other copy intact, I am also quite happy to be able to share this text with the community. I believe I did the absolute best I could to preserve this text, but please pour one out for the copy that had to take one for the team for that to happen

Thanks for the upload, it's very interesting!

You're welcome! I find it to be an interesting and valuable resource, as well as a unique book style, from the perspective that it has worksheets which question the reader to actually find the right setup for themselves. It's something often skipped over in modern electronic music education. I find that the format coupled with the snapshot of products available at the time in the book helps inspire period correct setups.
