so ive been doing a little homework on synths to start making my own sounds. i know how synths work a little but i cant make much. ive been looking online for simple recipes but i only found a book i cant buy atm. im sure theres people who know synths can say to make a piano sound "use this sound wave with this and that filter". i feel like we should have a list. maybe sticky it? it would be a huge help for anyone.

Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook: Analog Synthesizer Programming
and then look up some of the older synth models and find their manuals, most came with advice on how to program them - for example the old Modular System 100, System 700 and SH-101 from Roland (amongst many others of the mid-70's to mid 80') all came with extensive guides on how to program sounds. the underlying concepts translate well to other makes of synth as they all used the concepts of
VCO
VCA
VCF
Envelope (ADSR)
LFO
Noise
Some had multiple instances of each of these whilst others had a single instance of each.
