Q: Where can I get a manual for my synthesizer?<br />
A: And this is definitely the second most often asked question.<br />
I have no manuals for sale, and I don't have the time nor the money to make photocopies of my own<br />
manuals. However, there is a company called RogueMusic (there are others I'm sure) from where you can<br />
order manuals for almost any synthesizer to a reasonable price.<br />
If your instrument is rather new, try contacting music shops or even the manufacturer of the instrument.<br />
Q: What do I need for a PC-based studio?<br />
A: For some generic guidelines, check out my chapter about PC-based studios. For more detailed specifications,<br />
please contact your local music store - they can provide far better answers that I can.<br />
Q: How can I find pro<strong>gr</strong>ams for my synthesizer?<br />
A: Many music shops (and companies) sell third party ROM cards and discs for a lot of synthesizers and<br />
samplers. You can also search on the Web (try AltaVista) and advertisements.<br />
There are a lot of people who are looking for new sounds and would like to swap pro<strong>gr</strong>ams and patches if you<br />
have an original setup of sounds for your synth. So that too is a good reason to take your time an create a<br />
full bank of sounds yourself. It will most certainly be worth the effort!<br />
Q: I would like to buy a DW-8000 synthesizer. Do you have one for sale and for how much?<br />
A: I am not a retail seller and I don't normally have equipment for sale. But you can always give me an offer I<br />
can't refuse... ;-)<br />
