Re: [yamahacs80] OT: Old Yamaha AfterTouch magazines for download

2014-05-05 by Daniel Forró

My recent project of converting Yamaha AfterTouch magazine goes well  
and 31 finished issues were uploaded here for everybody to download:

http://www.yamahaforums.co.uk/index.php/userdownloads/category/22-aftertouch-magazine

The biggest credit goes to Rawl, who besides the scanning does the  
main job of converting his and my scans to PDF (with OCR), and has  
arranged official agreement from Yamaha, and place on the server.

I could do my scans thanks to the contribution from Mike (who also  
sent me most of DX7 II Supplemental Booklets - I plan the scanning  
them in the near future). Thanks also to Edgar for sending one missing  
issue.

I'm still waiting the second shipment of magazines kindly contributed  
by another Daniel. After receiving it I can continue scanning if Doug  
who also promised to help us wouldn't find enough time for it. Only 13  
issues were still not converted.

I still haven't  October 1988 issue. If anybody wants to sell or  
contribute, please contact me.

We are also hoping we may perhaps get our hands on the follow-on  
issues of AfterTouch published by Tesladar Communications headed by  
AfterTouch founding editor Tom Darter. In the last issues of  
AfterTouch was announced the publishing will continue but annual  
payment for 12 issues was asked. If anybody of you knows anything  
about this or have some issues please contact me or Rawl (member of DX

I'd also like to get the rest of DX7 II Supplemental Booklets which I  
still haven't:

Quick Reference Guide
Modifying Preset Voices
Understanding Fractional Scalings
Programming Fractional Scalings
Memory Management
Advanced Midi Applications

As was announced in AfterTouch magazine, Yamaha published in the end  
of 80ies also QX3 Operations & Applications Supplemental Booklet.

If somebody here would sell anything from these, contribute or just  
lend for scanning (I will pay for shipment in all cases), everybody  
can later get it as PDF.

Thanks in advance for any help or info where to get it. Similar  
projects as these couldn't be successful without a great help from  
Yamaha fans & users community.
