Cheers for the welcome boyas and for the links.

I'm still in contact with the guy i bought it from, but i didn't wanna bother him when not even a week has passed.

"record everything IN to the machine".....man i don't even have a clue what you mean, as i still can't get it to record a simple "dum dum dum dum" beat. A little patience is all i need.
Thanks for the links again, i'm gonna check em out now.

Sincerely,
The Stickiness of the Frolands *tears whole afro out with one tug* ahem

Hello everyone, i'm new to the board.
I just bought a w-30 last week, Its my first synth. My god is that thing a bitch to figure out. I've been up five days straight and only now is it starting to make a teeny bit of sense, but not really , and i look like a cross between grizzly adams and jabba the hut because of the thing.
 Not only that but instead of whistling tunes all day like i usually do, i'm whistling sound effects, whirring noises, and samples etc, etc.

I got a load of floppy disks with it, and also the original ZeroG sample cd's, but i'll be damned if i know what to do with them.
I've been reading the manual so much, my eyes hurt, and its not making sense. Yeah, yeah, i know i'm a bit thick.
But does anyone know of a good page that explains the thing, simply. I don't have the patience of an adolescent Howlett.

Look at this:
