Vindor,
I'd be interested to read it too, but as I understand it, it's quite a short book - more of a booklet, or pamphlet that accompanies the set of patches on the cassette - but people tend to ask a stupid amount of money for it, which I very much doubt it's worth.
As far as I can tell, it's still under copyright, but not in print, which presumably explains why there are no scans of it shared publicly, and why no one tends to sell it at it's true value - which I guess would really not be very much, if it was still available new.
It seems the publisher that still owns the rights is just sitting on it, and I don't suppose there would be enough volume of sales to interest any others in taking it over.
At the moment, it seems the best you can do is hope someone lists it on ebay for a sensible price, or find it on Amazon, and click the "I want to read this on my Kindle" link - though I doubt there's much chance of them ever converting it.
I think the gist of it is that some parameters can be controlled by Breath or Aftertouch, especially operator levels and LFO amount. If you look at his patches with something like the TX81Z editor, or JSynthLib, you can see which ones he used.
FWIW, I've tried his patches, and I thought some of the ones that come with the WT11 are better - especially after a bit of tweaking, mostly to reduce the amount of detune, which is a bit overdone in many of them.
Martin Tarenskeen converted those to work on the TX81Z - mostly. A few don't work because they're performance patches based on voice patches in the ROM, and it's not the same ROM. A lot of of them work well though.
