Creating articles on this wiki, as well as editing any pages requires one to have an approved account once registered. If you need help with this, simply get in touch with hikari_no_yume on the DTM Central discord.
Once you have been approved, you can create and edit pages as needed.
This page will be expanded on in due time to add more topics or sub-pages as needed.
Should I create this page?
If you can provide substantial information about the synthesiser, standard etc in question that the page is about, go ahead. Otherwise, maybe hold your fire and get some more information first, and ask around if there's multiple models that may have different behaviour. Someone's always willing to help if able! ^_^
Redirects
Redirects can be done for different spellings - JV1080 should just redirect to Roland JV-1080, for example. In rare events where the same model is shared between two different synthesisers, a disambiguation page is preferred similar to Wikipedia. Redirects can be done for variants of synths - for example, a redirect of the SC-50 to redirect to the SC-55 article, and specifically the SC-50 section if desired. Similar can be done for rackmounted version of synths - JV-880 redirecting to the JV-80, for example. Generally if the differences are greater than "same synthesis engine, but with a keyboard attached and optionally a sequencer built-in", then it merits its own section, if not its own page entirely.

Content policy
Generally speaking, we ask that you do your own research and cite your sources at minimum. Any pictures should be either original pictures (i.e. pictures you hold the rights to) or available in a permissive licensing format like CC-BY. The use of LLMs and AI is heavily frowned upon and may be removed without noticed - we've already seen the side effect on this on other encyclopaedias and wiki style pages (Erroneously identifying a JV-90 as an "AT-90", or identifying a non-existent Bob Ross Edition of the SC-55, and so on). Original research (writing based on your own findings from using a synth or module) is welcomed and encouraged - as long as you note as such, and is especially appreciated if multiple users can test this.
