February 2020 Book update + new format for tracking updates

Happy Leap Day! 

In true Leap Day spirit, there's a new way of Leaping between updates in my book...

A few months ago I added a new method to let you quickly jump between updates by searching for the  "<NEW" string. A Patreon Supporter wrote to me with what I think is a reasonable request - in case someone misses a book update or two, that it would be nice to be able to quickly jump back and forth beyond just what was added the last month.

So, to help with this - here's the plan: rather than keep the "<NEW" text in the book for just one month, I'll keep it around for three, and add which month a section or paragraph was updated right next to it in parenthesis. 

So, updates for this month will have "<NEW (FEB)" next to them. Last month's updates are now designated with "<NEW (JAN)". I'll keep the text by the January updates next month as well, and retire them in April.

If you just want to jump between what's new this month, search for the string "(FEB)"

Hopefully this doesn't clutter up the book too much - I'd love to know what you think and if you have a better, cleaner way to address this request.

As always, there's a section at the end of the book with a history of all the updates.

With that said, here's what's new for February 2020:

• Added a major chapter based on my “from Jam to Mastered Album” video (Page 218)
• Added a couple of fun cable management tips (Page 68)
• Yet another LFO trick - this one with a particularly long name: saving an LFO in a sound preset as a sequence automation timesaver (Page 86)
• Added a couple of new criteria to the GrooveBox and Sequencer buyer’s guide inspired by the MPC OS (Page 202) and Korg Wavestate (Page 211)
• Added links to the new Sirin Multi-sample pack and Vector Sequencer video jam

As usual but never taken for granted - thanks for supporting the cause and quest for electronic music exploration!

All my best,
