synthesizer manuals & electronic music

Music
I like to create electronic music, based on short loops. Most of the songs are created using a mobile software studio. Since 2004 I have used Phoenixstudio on Windows Mobile. In 2014 I moved to Caustic for Android and in 2018 to Korg Gadget for iOS.


Manuals
I also love to create simple quickstart manuals for old synths I have. Preferably about functionality I could not find in the user manual nor on the internet. The whole 'manuals' section has grown quite extensively into around 275 different pages on this website and even include a few home brewn web apps you can use for free.

Note: links to other websites in these manuals can break over time.
Please use the archive.org website to look for the (working) old version of the link.
This website only uses jpg, gif and (incidentally) png. No webp or heic files.
