Keep reading about this, but have failed to find any links that still have it?
I realise it's 'old', but have I missed a current site?

One used copy on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-EM-Guide-to-the-Roland-VS-880-/221883258788?hash=item33a945d7a4

I think this is what you mean. It was available via J W Pepper music in USA.

Morning!
I'm not certain it is the same....it would be a bit like you spending 10 years hard graft writing the 'VS Bible' and then me calling it 'The JN Guide'!
I've never actually seen the JD's guide...whether it was in book form, or a series of articles/whatever, I don't know...I've just spotted various references to it amongst these hallowed pages!
There's something else too - did you notice that the eBay seller in question doesn't post to the UK?!
Untrustworthy lot, we are!

Hmm. Hadn't caught that.

Must have something to do with "mad dogs, Englishmen and the noonday sun"!

Do you mean JW or JD's guide?

Oops!
Correct - I meant JW!
(Perhaps more the fault of Jack Daniels, rather than mad dogs, Englishmen or noonday suns!)

Of course the JW in the name you site and the JW in the name of the publisher of that book DK suggested couldn't possibly be connected?

JW was a guy named John Waddington, not a publisher. That book on eBay is not JW's VS guide.

Fair enough - I'd never heard of either one before this conversation.

Nice going, Wish!
Thanks for posting that link.
I'd never have found it myself.

Yes, thanks for that.
Unfortunately the link that's shown on that Yahoo site seems to be long gone....

Good God - not exactly pocket-sized!
Didn't realise it was anywhee near that size....
I'll probably not live long enough to read it, let alone understand it!
No wonder he was looking for someone to PDF it!

Thanks anyway

I think I must be losing it.

After all that, I've just found the 427-page pdf on my hard drive, there since December '13.
To be as fair to myself as I can be, I'd renamed it 'VS Guide'when saving, but even so....I'd just assumed it was just another gargantuan Roland issue.
Oh dear.
Only incontinence to go, then....!

love to have a copy as well.
Had a quick peek through my Roland archives, and it's not there.

Just tried to send you a copy, but looks like your email address is ****ed.


[Edit]
Looks as though it's sorted.
Sent.

I think John added a tip of mine that clarified the whole copying and pasting procedure that, in the manual, was fairly incomprehensible!
