About This Manual
We’ve tried to make this manual as helpful as possible for all types of user, both newcomers
to electronic music making and those with more experience, and this inevitably means some
users will want to skip over certain parts of it, while relative novices will want to avoid certain
parts of it until they’re condent they’ve mastered the basics.
However, there are a few general points that are useful to know about before you continue
reading the manual. We’ve adopted some graphical conventions within the text, which we hope
all types of user will nd helpful in navigating through the information to nd what they need to
know quickly:
