Just wanted to confirm that I have updated the book and fixed all the errors/bugs listed in this thread - the updated version is now on our server and available to download from your File Bank (just click on the old MPC500 ebook download link, it will give you the updated version).
I would point out that a couple of the points raised are IMO not errors at all:
This should be 'program' - the project file has already been loaded and I am asking the reader to go to the FITLOOP program within it. However, I have now rewritten this part anyway to definitely avoid any confusion.
The TC that loads with the tutorial is purposely set to a different TC value to 1/16(3) - this is because an early part of the tutorial is about learning how to manually set the TC to 1/16(3).
I don't really agree that this is a problem - it's very clear that each chapter in the book has its own folder, so any reference to a sub folder within a particular tutorial is clearly going to be a sub-folder of the current tutorial folder. However, I will re-assess this when I continue my detailed update over the next two weeks.
As mentioned in my previous post, I will go through this book again to ensure there's no other errors - this will be done over the next couple of weeks and an email will be sent to existing owners when it is live.
Once again, apologies for the minor errors, I hope it hasn't got in the way of your enjoyment of the book. Please let me know if there's any more problems and I'll get them remedied ASAP.
I would point out that a couple of the points raised are IMO not errors at all:
page 140 - refers to program but suppose to be project
This should be 'program' - the project file has already been loaded and I am asking the reader to go to the FITLOOP program within it. However, I have now rewritten this part anyway to definitely avoid any confusion.
page 159 - refers tempo 1/16(3), but the file in the tutorial clearly has another TC
The TC that loads with the tutorial is purposely set to a different TC value to 1/16(3) - this is because an early part of the tutorial is about learning how to manually set the TC to 1/16(3).
I also think that references back to the included folders should be made more clearly... It never refers to the parent folder. Although this should be assumed as the same number as the tutorial, it may not be as obvious, especially for nested folders.
