Chuck, I recommend "Arranging Techniques For Synthesists"., by Eric Turkel.




Though it's been out for a VERY LONG time (circa 1988), it's theories, techniques and examples are still as applicable today as back when it was used for my sound synthesis class back in college. It comes with a CD which includes lots of examples. The book is currently out of print but available used here.
