"Despite the page title there are ARP, BOSS, Korg, Moog and Yamaha manuals as well, but they're for 70's and 80's gear only...

Some people try to sell this stuff but I want them to be free for all...

This is my personal collection that I hunted down on the web. They're all in pdf format."

Machinedrum UW CTR-AL tweak demo "Control" (Siesta Submarina)

YouTube via TrondC | July 22, 2010

"Pattern jam around the allmighty and highly experiment-friendly CTR-AL Machine in the Machinedrum UW. Shortly put, this feature lets me use one of the MD's 16 tracks and control all parameters of all the other 15 tracks at once! SO, say I change the pitch in the CTR-AL machine, the effect is like I was turning 15 pitch knobs (1 for each other machine) at once, in perfect sync. Now, this machine works by controlling the coresponding parameter for each machine. meaning that since different machines have different parameters placed at the same relative spot (say, control knob #2 can be Decay for bassdrum, but Tone for a clap sound etc), this means that you get instand sonic mayhem at the tunr of a knob. In order to make this sound good instead of chaotic, is to learn what parameters are in use. I'm nowhere near knowing everything the way I want, but I know enough about the different sounds in the machinedrum so I have a certain clue what is going to happen. I'll try and explain here, but really too much going on for me to remember, so don't expect to be able to re-create this on your MD ;)"

Synthesizers.com SSL digital delay module

YouTube via MrRitchieDrums | September 20, 2010

"This latest addition to my modular is a Very Cool Delay!! More info at www.steamsynth.com. There are 3 parts to this video:
1) Basic bass line MIDI sequence via MOTM-650 (DOTcom VCO, filter, envelope & VCA + Mattson LFO & Envelope)
It starts dry. When the digital delay first comes in it almost has more of a a reverb vibe, not harsh. Then adding the LFO to the CV input takes us to a whole other Planet!!
2) This is a counter-line to go with the bassline. (Same modules are used, but now with the HP out of the filter)
3) This is a drum part recorded on 4 tracks (KICK=DOTcom VCO, Filter, Env+VCA - SNR= DOTcom VCO, ENV, Noise, VCA+MOTM-1485 GX-1 Diode Filter(the TOM is the same patch, but with the MOTM ladder VCF instead....CYM= MATTSON VCF)....The Kick & TOM were recorded to seperate tracks & the delay module was used as reverb. The SNR & CYM were recorded to one track & the CV-Delay is applied only to that track.......
I really like the character this module adds to these analog drums!!"
