iBook 'Cookbook'

namnibor · 2014-02-12T12:06:47.000Z

I personally find the iBook has brought new found clarity that the pdf just lacked.

@Neil:

When Elektron finally releases the video tutorials for A4 they reportedly needed to re-shoot, would it be possible for those Tutorials to be ported into iBook as a future update? Do not know how that would work if Elektron uses YouTube as a platform, but if possible, as well as other added content you may see useful in future?

Really, people complaining about cost of a large Starbuck’s coffee for something so portable, interactive, and easy to search within, is bordering on trite.

Thanks, Neil!

I have now converted the quick reference guide to iBook format and put on the Apple Store for sale. This will be the version updated periodically although the older free pdf still exists. The new iBook though does contain more new content.

In my excitement of finding this, I downloaded before realizing my macbook is at 10.7.5, and can’t do anything with an ibook. I don’t want to “upgrade” to a newer os yet, as I’d lose functionality of a few things I need. Also- no ipad
Are there any programs that can translate, or at least view the contents ( maybe not interactively) ? I may try to dig out my ipod touch- but that would be way small if it works…

+1 in favor of having this (and future versions) available on Kindle.

I’m a diehard Android user now!

(And I’ll gladly pay the $5 or $6. Sheesh, I can’t believe people are whining about this.)

I bought the iBook and it is a great Manual !

Got me going through the whole Analog four with no problem and i love to be off my computer and have the ibook when i travel on my iPad on iPhone.

Makes it easy to trouble shoot or learn on the go !

A must have, and for 3,50euros. it’s about the price of a good coffee !

I have to say another thank you to everyone who bought the iBook. The response both to people buying it and to the feedback is positively overwhelming. I have taken on board all the comments and will look at prioritising what to do next. Seems like Kindle is a common request but i will have to check the logistical and contractual arrangements on that medium. Also more in depth content is another requirement of which i certainly will look to expand. Finally the embeding of videos will continue but this adds to the file size considerably and i feel i could only provide custom videos rather than any others due to copyright.

Another common request has been for versions for other hardware products. I have released the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Version and im looking at 1 or 2 others. Octatrack seems the most common request but unfortunatly i dont own one to develop the book from as yet.

One this i have to say is i cant do everything and can only work at my own pace. Unfortunatley the day job takes priority and will have to prioritise.

So hopefully this will develop and get stronger. Please keep the ideas and comments coming. It’s inspiring and creative.

Thank You
Neil

I will be reviewing an update with new content in the coming weeks. I have some ideas but wondered what people would specifically like to see added? I have decided that for now I will concentrate on content rather than porting across to iPhone, kindle, android etc, so please offer any content ideas. Thank you.

Cool to hear about an update look forward to it.

Things I’d like to see added:

-Workflow examples and basic saving functions like would be used within a project with slower close ups on the video.
-using it in poly mode on all 4 tracks with a midi controller
-how to for setting up midi controllers with different setup examples
-where to save and when to save there from start to finish on a project
-troubleshooting section
-more video footage examples - with close ups of the screen and audio added to all vids

I’d like to see more step by step guides.

+1
Even a visual step-through of using C6 and doing both O.S. updates and file management back-ups. Step-by-step of managing +Drive and anything with Multi-Map.
Love being able to take this interactive guide with me anywhere and with updates, makes this worth many cups of good coffee!

iceritchie · 2014-03-18T22:09:52.000Z

Most importantly where is the octatrack cookbook? I would think that would benefit most. I surely would have bought it.

Mugison · 2014-03-18T22:21:21.000Z

great book, thanks.
