Welcome to the DTM Wiki!

About

The goal of this wiki is to document old MIDI devices intended for computer musicians (in Japanese: DTMers), especially synthesizers from Roland's Sound Canvas series and Yamaha's MU series, but other digital synths from around the same era are also of interest.

This wiki is a project of the DTM MIDI Central Discord server. There is a discussion channel for the wiki there. The admin of the wiki is hikari_no_yume, who is not one of the Discord server moderators.

This wiki is still in its early stages, so a lot is yet to be worked out and things may change rapidly. Please be patient!
