Summary: Shameless
Review: For the author to post a review of his own book and then have the gall to give it 5 stars - he gets a big one star from me.This is a book that is 98 pages; covering a complex set of hardware and a highly involved technique and he raves that this is the only book on the subject to help people owning the machines. How about mentioning that the user's manual for these machines covers more than his book by far and is written better as well.

Summary: a note from the author
Review: Hi, I'm the guy who wrote this book, and I just wanted to point out that this is the only book on the market that really covers Grooveboxes, tabletop samplers and loop-slicing hardware. If you use the Roland MC-505, Boss SP-1, Korg Electribe ES-1, Yamaha SU200 or RS7000, this is the book you've been waiting for. Plenty of machine-specific coverage, lots of general tips and tricks applicable to any groove machine, and detailed chapters about looping software as well! I give it five stars, and I think you will, too.

Summary: Don't be a hater shameless
Review: Stop hating on the author... why would anyone want to read the manuals?! They aren't going to say anything about how to make music within these terms. Duh

Summary: Crap.
Review: Unfortunately, I wasted my good money on this book. (Or rather, someone wasted it on me - I got it as a gift). The book is useless, and I own some of the synths the author writes about. To the reviewer who criticized the reviewer who gave a bad mark: guess what? The "low mark" reviewer was right, the user manuals ARE better than this crappy book. So before insulting a reviewer, why not actually bother to inform yourself. Sheesh.
