It would be FANTASTIC to see a "detangled" version of the manual for those of us who are crushed under the immense weight of that wall of text! That and the exclusion of any visual feedback creates a pretty big roadblock for folks who haven't used any devices like this (present company included)
Let's say I'd be willing and in a position to put together a community-based (i.e., unofficial) "extended" document. What would you like to see?
Some of this is guesswork, as my cartridge is supposed to arrive Monday, but I'm still willing to go ahead and try to get the ball rolling.
Ideas thus far include:
Programming hardware MIDI controllers to control to Famimimidi (likely only the Novation SL Mk III, as well as the venerable M-Audio Keystation if I can get it working)
Programming DAWs to control Famimimidi (REAPER, Logic, Ableton Live Lite, Bitwig Studio would all be immediately available for testing)
Regrouping relevant CC messages/Program Changes/etc. together
Recreating iconic sounds (my weakest area personally, to be honest)
Finding a way to collaborate with other Famimimidi users to fill gaps in the original draft, making it a community-driven resource as well
I get that a step-by-step approach is ideal, but if you had any other wishlist items, that'd be helpful!
