Damn, ctrl+s.

Here's the link:
http://michmer.net/store.html

I got poo'd on for putting up a post to the pdf on my site, so I updated the 
link to Jim's site, but then I decided to do a quick search for ARP 2600 
manual and sure enough the first hit is a pdf of the manual on guitarworld. 
Anyone know how Jim feels about this?  Just curious.  I'd love to spread the 
ARP 2600 love, but not sure if I should.  So for not I'm not, sort of...

cheers,
matrix

I thought I'd weigh in on this as I own two different versions of the ARP 2600 manual. I own the original Tonus version, which I believe was authored mostly by David Friend (somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken) and the later ARP version written by Jim. While both are interesting reads from a historical point of view, they both share the same general weakness in my point of view: unless you already have a solid understanding of modular synthesis, they are a tough nut to crack for a newbie. For those that are interested, I put up a scan of my copy of the Tonus version (which is out of print, btw) here: http://www.emusic-diy.org/ArpManuals.

What MIGHT be better is "Learning Music With Synthesizers"
by David Friend, Alan R. Pearlman and Thomas D. Piggott
Published 1974 by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation
(another Milwaukee company).

It targets the ARP Odyssey and seems to be high school level.

Agreed, this is a much better book, but just try to find a copy! They are as rare as frog hairs. I had someone offer me $50 for mine (I didn't sell) which would have made for a pretty good profit margin given that I found it as new old stock at a music store and paid $0.50 for it. :-)
