There is a book called "The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music" written by Miller Puckette (creator of Max / Pure Data visual programming languages).
That is quite heavy on the mathematical side though - really is more like the title suggests the theory underlying the DSP.
Ableton have some online content like https://learningmusic.ableton.com/ https://learningmusic.ableton.com/ which is laid out in chapter form and uses https://tonejs.github.io/ https://tonejs.github.io/ for browser synthesis / sequencing etc
- cousin_it 6y agoThat's more like textbooks though. I was talking more about a tune by tune cheatsheet. That would probably involve some shorthand notation (does that exist?)
- matthewh806 6y agoyeah, fair point about the Miller Puckette book - that is indeed a full on textbook. Check some of the Ableton chapters a bit more closely though - https://learningmusic.ableton.com/make-basslines/good-life.html https://learningmusic.ableton.com/make-basslines/good-life.h... is this not something like you're referring to? Has a grid with the midi notes in place arranged just like you'd see in a DAW. I think they have an exporter for the MIDI into ableton as well
