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 (created by the guy that made PPSSPP). In 2014 I moved to Caustic for Android and in 2018 to Korg Gadget for iOS. I liked Bhajisloops on the Palm too (made by the Muitable Instruments creator).
 

Manuals
I also love to create simple quickstart manuals for old synths I own. Preferably about functionality I could not find in the user manual NOR on the intertubes. 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, I don't constantly check my links.
Please use the archive.org service to look for the (working) old version of these links.
This website only contains jpg, gif and (incidentally) png. No webp or heic files.
