  Yea, I think thats right, someone said if you happen to have your
hands on a synth or two each with a different technology some hands
on trial/error helps build what is realizable with that technology.
Its not always possible to have multi-synth technique avail unless
lots of $$ comes first. So I look for other routes. One I like is
"Synthesis with Style" by Steve De Furia and Joe Scacciaferro from
HAL LEONARD. It is for keyboard players but has a good section in it
on voice and performance. It shows how an instrument (w examples) could
be 'built' up piece by piece using the basic components (noise,pitched,tuning
no-pitch,envelope,typ spectrum,attack timbre,etc)very useful for first
time instrument design no matter the technology used.
 There are also various material in Computer Music J. and AES journal on
breaking down types of instrument sounds.
 Other sources, like the CDROM below might be good altough I haven't bought
this one yet.
 Looking at other peoples instruments and altering them to experiment is
a common approach.

 A new Sound Synthesis CDROM by
