The Modules of Softube´s Modular Part 1
My e-book:
The Modules of Softube´s Modular
Part 1
covering the 4 different Sequencer Modules as well as Intellijel´s Rubicon and Intellijel´s Korgasmatron II.
An e-book?
Well, it´s more a “multimedia book” actually, because it comes together with more than 5 and a half hours of video tutorials about the matter.
And each of the 271 pages of my e-book is equipped with direct links to exactly that part of the video, that point in the video, on the videos timeline, where the detail, you are currently reading about, is shown and explained.
271 pages, 340 minutes of video,
a lot more details, than you can find in the manuals,
some hidden features
