One thing to note: the waves in quantum physics have complex amplitudes[0] (e.g. a real number + an imaginary number), rather than the waves in most synthesizers and analog computers which only have a real amplitude. This means that they can have very different behavior e.g. wave interference is different for real-valued classical waves and complex-valued quantum waves. Experience with any wave dynamics is certainly still valuable though.
