User Manual
The complete guide to Pulsark, as a PDF you can keep on the device you are making music on - iPhone, iPad or Mac. It is generated from the app itself, so its counts, control lists and shortcuts describe the build it is versioned against rather than an earlier one.

Versions
The manual is versioned separately from the app and is reissued when the app changes enough to need it. Older releases stay downloadable, so a link you were given with an earlier beta keeps working.
