Sin duda los libros que mas me gustan sobre MAX son los volúmenes de Alessandro Cipriani, Maurizio Giri, Electronic Music and Sound Design I & II. Son super didácticos a la vez que muy técnicos con muchos ejemplos e interludios que abarcan Max empezando desde cero. Pero aún más que eso, es un texto que cubre los principios y la práctica de síntesis digital.
Intercala teoría con ejemplos de Max introduciendo objetos y conceptos de una manera en que el aprendizaje es un verdadero placer.

El primer volumen engloba síntesis digital, proceso de señales, síntesis aditiva y sustractiva, controles y LFOs.

No temas. Aunque a primera vista pueden intimidar un poco y da la sensación que tienes que tener algo de experiencia en programación para ponerte con ellos no es así. Son muy amenos y lo bueno es que con los interludios entre capítulos nos enseñan el funcionamiento básico de Max.

Best audio synthesis book applied on Max/Msp I've ever read.
