Stuff gathered from many years of listening to the list discussions
about the Roland MC-505 Groovebox (sequencer/synthesizer) that can be found
by going to www.yahoogroups.com/mc505.
Credits are given where I remembered whose e-mail the tip came from. If you
know someone deserves credit for a tip on this site, please let me know and
I'll mark it appropriately. One other thing: As much as possible I'm going to
try to leave the e-mails exactly as I received them (e.g. won't be correcting
grammar, etc. as I usually do <grin> ) so don't blame me if you don't
understand them ... :)
If you have a better section division scheme, please send it to
me. Especially the line between pattern tips and recording tips. Should I merge
those two? Send me your comments.
