Book excerpt: Whether you're a guitarist trying to make your guitar go gneee flumph and oo-ee-oo-ee, a bass player who's fed up with the same old sounds or a bedroom techno overlord working on the number one hits of the future, technology can help turn your ideas into reality. get - samplers, MIDI, guitar equipment and even things for drummers - and explains what they do, who's using them, and what you should look for when you go shopping. It also tells you what to do when technology attacks: why you should always assume things will go spectacularly wrong at the worst possible moment, and what you can do to make sure it doesn't irritate you.
