I recently created a user manual for the Positron 16, a synthesizer concept that I designed from the ground up. The goal? I wanted to see how clearly I could explain a complex, modular-style instrument as if it was a real commercial product.

This has been a great exercise in technical writing - taking something abstract and making it accessible to both beginners and experienced users.

The manual includes:

An introduction to synthesis

Signal flow and modulation diagrams

Clear, structured descriptions of each module

A glossary for new users

A focus on UX - helping musicians understand the features

🛠 Tools used: Google Docs, Illustrator, Photoshop, Blender (for concept visuals), my passion for synthesisers and writing
