Maps!

We’ve been working on a set of complementary documentation for the Mannequins modules. We hope these provide new perspectives for both the beginner and experienced synthesist alike!

They’re hosted on github, viewable online as hyperlinked, mobile-friendly documents along with printable PDFs.

Mannequins Technical Maps Repository

And now…
Just Friends: PDF & Web
Mangrove: PDF & Web
Cold Mac: PDF & Web
Three Sisters: PDF & Web

Massive shouts to @voidstar for driving this project!

leave it to Whimsical Raps to say “ok fine, you didn’t appreciate the poetic/exploratory approach, you philistines? here”, and then deliver one of the best manuals in Eurorack

As a humble W/ owner I can’t welcome this enough! Please do one for W/ too :] The “poetic” manual, on the W/ at least, simply doesn’t go far enough to de-obscure the patterns behind its mode-based UI. For me it ends up unintuitive and mystifying. I love what I can do with it, but manage to forget the controls between sessions. A more technical manual would allow me to grok it on a different level altogether. I had a similar problem with Bastl Softpop until i studied the diagrams closely, was able to shape my expectations, and am now able to freely navigate what’s essentially a rather simple topology. Great news!

massive respect to trent and the gang…the only possible downside is that i might want my mangrove back after ignoring the osc for a while

Great stuff. I think this will silence a few critics regarding the original manuals.

This is great. I’ve just fallen back in love with my Mangrove (we are on again, off again). The timing is perfect
