tinyloops synthesizer manuals

What is this?
These pages were created during the process of plowing through the manuals and learning how to work with the synthesizers. It started with an extensive manual for the TB-303 in november 2010 (took me some 150 hours), an app for the 303 in 2011 (another 150 hours, it's not public). After that, the TR-606 in june 2012 and the 303/606/707 Pattern programming comparison table in july ("x0x Programming"). During october 2012, I had my SIEL DK70 obsession, for which I also created an app that analyses its SysX-data.

Why is it in English?
To make the pages accessible outside of The Netherlands.

Why do i want to clog the intertubes with this information?
The pages help me in the following way:

to create the structure an official manual sometimes lacks and compress it to a few straightforward pages
to help me force to understand the machine, as the saying goes "if you can explain it to someone, then you understand it yourself"
to prevent me from having to read the whole freaking manual over again, after a year not working with the machine
to have a place where i will not have to search for the stuff for 3 days (paper ends up on some stack you know)
also, i could have kept all this for myself, but then, why should i ;)

Do i own all these synthesizers that are visible on the manual page?
No, the manual pages just cover a small part of the studio.

Why the name 'tinyloops'?
i got my inspiration from the song 'tiny loop' by dj kudo. The title said it all about the way i make music. So there it is.

Why is the design of this website not responsive?
I developed the website before responsive design was important. For now I'd rather concentrate on the contents of the website than on changing the design to fit the current needs.

Why no mod_rewrite?
This will break the existing links from external websites, which I find undesirable.

Why is this website not SEO optimized?
I don't care.
