After having picked up my DX a while back and trying to wade through Fukuda's book and an early draft of the user's manual (you think the *current* one is a little difficult to follow......) and a few "It's easy to do" articles in places like CKybd., it occurs to me that the lot of us should get together and write a manual of our own. There are certainly enough DX owners on the net, and enough people who are painfully making the transition from analog synthesis to FM that we'd be likely to come up with something which is at least useable. The thing I'd most like to see written up has in some way to do with constructing a sort of conceptual model that allows you to think about the creation of sounds ("if you sit down to design a 20-foot flute that overblows *very* easily and has little synpathetic rattles on the inside that make noise when the thing is blown, you start with.....") Anyone out there interested in trying the thing out? Drop me a line and we'll talk about it. We could even make some bucks on the thing, I'll bet....but AT LEAST do a service to humankind.
