Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'll buy one, even if only to show my appreciation for the outstanding
effort in your original guide.
 
My preference is for soft cover because it will be cheaper and easier to
carry around in a case, gig bag, etc. Cheaper means you might sell more
too. I don't think color would be of any great benefit, and it will
raise the cost. A cheaper price will win out over a prettier book. You
will have enough praises from we book owners that color and hardcover
won't be necessary to push sales.
 
Additions I would love to see:
- an index
- a list of MIDI controller values
- a companion website with audio samples of the DIY patches
- multi-mode explained in depth
- a glossary
 
Regards,
-- Iain

Fellow Evolver-heads:
I am (finally) working on the "second edition" of the Definitive Guide.

I am correcting numerous inaccuracies in the original text.
I am adding more tips, tricks, and best practices.
I am adding information about/specific to the Poly Keyboard.

If you have suggestions, comments, or tips you want to share, please let
me know. 

If you have topics you want me to go into which the original didn't
cover, let me know.

Finally, my plan is to "publish" this as an actual hold-in-your-hands
book through Blurb.com.

Blurb has several different sizes available, as well as hard cover and
soft cover options. If I do black and white pages at 5"x8", the
softcover would be $7 and the hardcover would be $21, assuming I don't
try to actually make any money selling them.

Would you prefer a larger size and color pages for more cost?

I will offer both hard- and soft-cover versions. Having already made
both before, I can say the hardcover is a top-notch quality product.

Thanks!
