OWNER'S

MANUAL

Rock

Wehrmann

Congratulations!

Now,

realize

that

about

percent

all

owner's

manuals

start

with

that

word

but,

this

case,

it's

justified.

The

fact

that

you've

purchased

THE SOURCE

says

several

things

about

you

musician:

—

You're

not

afraid

what

could

called

"computer-controlled

instrument";

rather,

you're

ready

work

with

the

advantages

presented

microprocessor-based

synthesizer.

—

You

are

quality

and

cost

conscious.

THE

SOURCE

contains

built-in

sequencer,

arpeggiator

and

program

sequencer

and

costs

less

than

some

non-programmable

synthesizers.

—

Finally,

and

perhaps

most

importantly,

you

just

want

make

good

music.

This

manual

will

help

you

realize

just

how

versatile

instrument

THE

SOURCE

truly

is.

Section

will

show

you

how

use

each function

the

instrument;

Section

explains

the

theory

behind

each

function

and

gives

tips

how

use

that

function

efficiently.

Margin

comments

periodically

explain,

detail,

points

made

the

main

copy.

After

you've

read

the

manual,

you

should

have

good

working

knowledge

digitally-controlled

synthesizers

and

you

should

realize

that,

rather

than

producing

"robot

music,"

digitally

programmable

synthesizers

take

care

the

"busy

work"

and

leave

you

free

make

your

own

kind

music.

And

when

you're

done

with

this

manual,

you'll

ready

earn

the

congratulations

which

really

count

—

the

applause

your

friends

and

audiences

for

making

great

music

with

THE

SOURCE.

Good

playing,
