Are there some good tutorials/walktrhoughs on how to build a synthesizer?

There are some good resources available:

http://sonicbloom.net/en/63-in-depth-synthesis-tutorials-by-...

http://www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/acoustics_info/sound_synt...

It's actually fairly easy to program a virtual analog synth.

There are also packages like Sonic Pi and supercollider which are designed to enable music live coding.

You should also check out puredata. It allows you to code both sequencers and syhths visually instead of writing code. You can then embed it in your program.

There is an excellent series of articles called "Synth Secrets" by Sound on Sound: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/synthesis/synth-secr...

Check out csounds.com , csound runs everywhere and can do forms of synthesis that no hardware synth can match
