About
v0.13.0Knobwerk — interactive, LLM-friendly rebuilds of hardware instrument manuals.
This is an unofficial, community project that rebuilds Elektron's user manuals in an interactive form — so "how do I…" and "what does this parameter do" are answered faster than scrolling a PDF. It currently covers the Elektron Tonverk (OS 1.3.3), Syntakt (OS 1.40A), Digitone II (OS 1.10D), and Digitakt II (OS 1.15A).
Everything here is compiled from the official manual by a reproducible pipeline: each procedure, parameter, and MIDI address is extracted into structured data, audited against the source, and rendered as interactive panel demos. Every record cites the manual section it came from.
What's inside
- ·Procedure player — operations replayed step by step as highlighted keys on a rendered front panel.
- ·Parameter reference — every parameter by page, track type, and machine, with ranges and MIDI addresses.
- ·Manual search — full-text search across the compiled manual.
- ·Web MIDI control — resolve a parameter to its CC/NRPN address and drive the hardware from the browser.
- ·AI tutor — bring-your-own-key chat grounded in the manual; your key stays in your browser.
- ·Feedback — report a manual error, bug, or idea in a click; sent via Formspree, no cookies or tracking.
Built with
Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Web MIDI. The data pipeline is Python.
