COMMONTONES Phase II

COMMONTONES is a project by Sonicbrat, Eric, and LDT. In Phase I of COMMONTONES the members produced one track a day. The great thing about each track was that the description included a list of the instruments used. I put a few posts up on tracks featuring only one or two synths. It really was an interesting trip listening to what they come up with each day. For Phase II they will be doing one track a week. Each track will feature one member as a main driving force with the other two members as support.

"Three musicians...
Three minds...
One song...

A weekly affair between the trio. Their first music making effort as an entity rather than solitude contributions. They will be working on a single piece weekly, a song a week, for the entire month of July. This is their next step, something they had in mind for a long time... and finally materializing. This is only the beginning."

Rhodes Chroma Programming Manual Now Online

via Chris Ryan on the Rhodes Chroma mailing list:

"The Programming Manual is now online at the site. This includes transcriptions and scans of all the sections from the print version: Structure, Programming, Panel Parameter Descriptions, Hidden Functions, Sample Program, Cassette Interface Notes, and Glossary.

There are a number of corrections, from spelling mistakes to errors in parameter values and a little bit of additional information. Thanks to David Clarke for his help with this.

As this was a significant effort -- 25,000 words manually transcribed and a fair amount of scanning -- I may consider this update a "special summer double issue" and forego a new article for August. (I will still post the ChromaTalk archive for July and do other minor updates.)

A question: now that this manual is available in hypertext, do you see any value in retaining the PDF file on the site? The PDF file is a scan (it is not searchable text), and the site does have a print style sheet which provides for a nicely formatted paper copy if needed. The (1.4MB) Programming Manual PDF has only been downloaded 54 times so far this year. The same goes for the 5MB Service Manual PDF, which has been downloaded 88 times, versus 701 page views in 2007 for the main page of the HTML version (the Schematics and Drawings page has been viewed 1055 times). There are now over 1700 files on the site, for a total of about 200MB of the 250MB I'm allowed with my current hosting plan, so there's some room left to grow but also a few large files of dubious value (I have removed the 5MB Sequencer Manual PDF as it's been downloaded only four times so far in 2007; it's still available on request).
